I find it noteworthy that such an elaborate (and probably expensive) electronic system seems to have no discernable effect on public trust in the result. Public statements still focus on fears and emotions, not on how any asserted falsification would be technically and statistically feasible.
And electronic voting can only certify that the total count matches the votes entered into voting machines; it cannot certify that the votes entered into voting machines weren't cast fraudulently. For that you need physical security at polling stations.
If the people physically controlling the polling stations want to commit fraud, they could even have voters put their votes into fake voting machines, while the real machines are somewhere else and get fed with fake data.
