Easier to steal elections?

Don't have to bother with gerrymandering, or slick legal ways to arrest people for voting with the wrong documents. Or just good old fashioned intimidation, like making the polling place the police station or the ICE detention facility.

It's just a lot smoother process when you can simply write some software to manipulate the count.

Who's gonna check?

(No, seriously, Who's gonna check? Because you also need to layoff everyone in that department once you're in power.)
