True. Nothing can be fully trusted. That’s true for everything, though, including paper voting. Clear schemes exist to cheat there and there’s computers involved in tallying the votes anyway. So what’s the reason to trust that stuff? The goal of e-voting is not to become absolutely secure, they need to be secure enough not to make the elections as a whole less secure when used in them. That’s a big difference.
There’s also the bear mechanism. In the forest, you don’t have to run faster than a bear, you need to run faster, than the person you are with. Let’s say there’s an issue with id-cards or electronic signatures in general. The attackers could wait several years and attack voting risking, that all electronic votes are annulled as their attacks are uncovered. Or they could just wreak complete havoc on the entire society right now. The electronic signatures are so ubiquitous here you can literally do anything. Sign a document as the President, take out loans on behalf of everyone, get everyone divorced (or married), take all their money etc. why would you wait?
