The difference is that making paper voting systems entirely open for inspection is inherently much easier than doing the same for an electronic voting system. Especially for non-experts in engineering and cryptography, that is, like, 99.9% of the population.

Different jurisdictions have different rules, so YMMV. But the basic ideas are a) Australian ballot system b) verify the physical chain of custody c) private voting, public counting. Happy hunting.
