Involving a bunch of people is a security feature. Perhaps the only one that works consistently. The only reason to move to electronic voting is to reduce the number of people. Ie. an attempt to reduce the security of the election. Additionally your voting system has to he simple enough for transparency to be effective. Ie. a non-compromised voting system must be distinguishable from a compromised one by the average Joe or it will get replaced by the compromised one. No electronic voting system passes this test. By all means use a computer to help (ie. optionally mark the paper with a computer, or do some zero knowledge vote verification thingy or count the marks automatically as a pre-count), but it should never interfere with the basic process of put mark on bit of paper, put bit of paper in box, have human tally marks in box.
