I don't know if you realize, but you moved the goal posts a little. Yes I agree that an electronic system would be more difficult to wrap your mind around as a layperson, but if you go now on the street and you ask someone how paper ballots work in their district, I bet that even though they know the big picture, they will fail at the details.
So the common person will probably not understand the cryptographic underlayers of this theoretical new system, they need to have confidence "in the science". I know that doesn't sound as good, but we're heading towards a world where computing literacy is increasing, so in some years that could be possible.
