It's just people that don't understand it or the capability of determined saboteurs that are pushing for this. It's well known in cyber security that security hinges not on advanced technologies or anti-virus, but the people operating the machinery itself. That's why security is so much more about designing network systems architecture with regards to users and their levels of access, I.E. don't give people permissions or accesses they don't need.
Elections need maximum possible transparency, not more layers of tech that will confuse 90%+ of the populace and make votes impossible to measure.
Engineering such an election system is a highly challenging task, to be sure. Security isn't about preventing ALL threats, however, it's about minimizing threat impact and size. A few lost ballots is a lot better than someone being able to change a few thousand with ease.
