Some people still think of computers as machines that can never be wrong because their calculator and spreadsheets are never wrong, they're essentially magic boxes that can do math and things faster and more correctly than people can. Humans are slow and error prone, and it's easy to whip up conspiracies about those people nefariously counting votes in their favor.
It's easy to play into that bias, you even see it among the technically minded who work with computers all day, and exploit it for financial gain. It's a grift that keeps on grifting.
