It just add bigger SPOF. Compromise a single voting machine and you control hundred thousands of votes. Compromise one vote counter and you control thousands at most

There are literally no problems to solve in modern functioning democracies when it comes to votes, it's just some technocrat mentality that requires everything to be automated so it's faster/more efficient, etc.

So yeah you can make these things faster at the expense of basically everything else, including trust
