The point I am trying to make here is that the creation of that agreeable consent ("I didn't like the result, but I am going to accept it") is easier when the process is tangible and people know that they can understand manipulation, tampering, tracking without an academic degree in computer science and decades of experience in the field.

However no voting system is perfect and 100% consent is next to impossible to achieve. But for major, high stakes elections we have to take any tiny sliver of trust we can take, even if it is at the expense of getting results fast or cheap.

As a young nerd I would've said: "How hard can it be", as an older nerd I understand that the computer part is the easy part, getting people to be able to trust and follow the process is the hard part.
