That may be true in the US today, but other countries have voting systems that are easier to understand and more transparent. Let's take a reasonable threat model. The society is heavily fractured. Not in an inconsequential way as in the US today, but more like Europe between the world wars. Communism and fascism were mainstream, and there was a credible threat of a civil war. (Not to mention a fair number of actual civil wars.) Consider an average voter who does not trust the election authorities or the companies providing hardware and software for the elections. Maybe they are a communist who assumes that every major tech company is on the other side and actively trying to tamper with the elections. If the elections are actually run in a (mostly) fair manner, will that person trust the results? That happened many times in the early 20th century Europe. People who had no reason to trust the elections still believed in the legitimacy of the results, which probably prevented civil wars.
