When you replace an existing technology you have to ask yourself the question what do i gain by replacing it and what do i lose? In this case if you go with these voting machines you lose the ease of auditing in my opinion. Usually in democracies parties can send out representatives to each voting area so they can check that the process gets followed.
But if you stand next to the machine you do not know if it does the job properly. This lack of easy transparency means that people will never trust it. Not matter how much cryptography and security you put in it, people will never ever trust this output because of the endless ways it can go wrong without anyone ever knowing.
