It's very easy to forge paper records, though. I seem to recall reading about a rigged election in a questionable democracy where the ballot counters were given several file boxes full of fake ballots in addition to their local precinct ballots, with official anti-tampering seals intact.

So now you need a distribution network for fake boxes and people in the precincts that are in on the conspiracy. Such a large org is leak-prone.

Contrast that with a group of just 1-3 techies.
