> A cryptographic paper voting system that required advanced math to understand would have the same legitimacy problem as a cryptographic electronic voting system.
No, because it'll still be counted manually by humans. What the cryptographic layer allows you to do is verify that your vote was properly counted or allow a trusted third-party to verify that for you. It doesn't take anything away from the paper voting system but only adds to it. That said, you'd still have to trust the device that generates your tracker, but maybe they've found a way to deal with that.
