Voting systems have to be at a level that volunteers can monitor and 
help out people who are voting.

Computer geeks are slow to volunteer to help out on election day, 
therefore systems have to be simplified so people who predate computers 
can use them while at the same time cannot be prone to tampering by a 
few geeks who do volunteer.

Than the few computer geeks who are interested go off and create  an 
open source project that is geared to stuff their philosophy of 
computing down everyone else's throat, while still not being simple and 
intuitive for my grandma to use.
