Get both sides involved could just mean having an auction... I'm not saying it's impossible to make a publicly verifyable, tamper proof system, but it's definitely harder than flying a shuttle.

  They wouldn't know they lost the auction until the result have come out; at that point crying foul would mean admitting they were involved in trying to steal an election; and since verifying the correctness of the voting system would be extremely hard they might not even be able to dispute the result.

It's actually quite a bit easier than flying a space shuttle. See [1], or for a less technical description [2].
