No system is without flaws. Without trust in those conducting and tabulating the poll, there will not be trust in the system.

The problem with older systems is that fully trust-worthy officials will still get results not 100% accurate due to issues with the various methods.

The problem with electronic systems is that even if 99.9% of officials are 100% honest, it only takes a couple of bad apples out of the many officials and volunteers to have a big effect on accuracy.
