No it isn't. Electronics actually work just great when the vast majority of actors are behaving cooperatively, as when you use your credit card to buy something on the internet. Most of the time your order arrives as specified, you pay the amount expected, and nothing bad happens. It's great.

The problem with voting is that trust doesn't really exist, you have large blocs that are historically willing to undermine the integrity of the process itself because the risks of getting caught the penalties associated with same are low and mild compared to the potential payoffs of success. I would argue that too much power is concenrtated in elective offices, such that the incentives for cheating so vastly outweight the downside risks that shenanigans become inevitable.

The American approach to this has been to distribute power across as many elective offices as possible. This may have been a mistake, and furthermore it makes voting enormously elaborate and complex. American ballots are huge. That's better than the paternalism that obtains in parliamentarian systems, where you get to vote for a small number representatives once every few years and on a referendum maybe once a decade, which makes it easy to do all the ballot-counting by hand.

Paper ballots can't be counted by hand in the US. I mean, yeah, it's theoretically possible, but when ballot papers in a general election can have 40 ro 50 candidates and referendum items, counting has to be automated (eg by scanning) and recounts are limited to specific races in specific precincts. To be frank, it would be very easy for a determined attacker to throw an entire election into doubt by subverting just a few key points. All I need to do is force votes close enough to trigger the recount threshold in multiple (>=3) disparate races in multiple (>=3) busy precincts and then have a few Outraged Citizens show up to protest the injustice simultaneously. To be honest you could probably do that with ad buys and not even use knowing operatives. The amplifying effect of the media will do the rest. On top of the commercial impulses that drive the media to seek spectacle first and substance alter, the wide availability of camera and communications technology is a double-edged sword; on one level it provides an economic and cultural stimulus which is great, but that also means that it's extremely subject to manipulation as the capacity for media production outstrips that of critical consumption - that is to say, our capacity to create rumors often exceeds our capacity to filter them out, and leveraging this at a critical time like an election makes it easy to provoke political instability.

Sp, while paper ballots seem to have greater integrity than electronic voting, they're really not that much harder to undermine and require the acceptance of all kinds of practical problems that come with fetishizing tradition.

Could we not instead have voting machines with open source and audited software, or better yet voting software that we could all have on our phones that met the same standards? That'd be the ideal, but it hasn't happened until now because procurement and the political process itself are deeply corrupted, and in addition to the basic corruption of two sides spending vast sums of money to struggle over power, there's the bigger issue that if you could gain popular acceptance for a solid verifiable open-source voting mechanism we wouldn't need much of our political infrastructure; that is to say, instantaneous, reliable, and credible electronic voting is a threat to the existence of the political class, and by extension to the buyers of said political class's services.
