I don't understand how people are completely fine with having their thousands and millions of dollars handled electronically but when it comes to something trivial as voting, they suddenly put on their tinfoil hats and say computers are insecure.

Because banks have financial incentives in keeping your transactions secure, and even then errors happen all the freaking time.

Government do not have this incentive, and how do you recover from errors once malicious actors have gained power ?

Because government handled billions and has armies? Sometimes even nuclear weapons. Does your bank habe that?
