Other than trust, which is pretty much the most important aspect of voting. That's essentially my point. You are mistaken on this point. Because the average voter doesn't understand hashing and data encryption, a candidate need only say "my tally is different than the 'official' one" and the election is called into question. The problems lie in the inadequate infrastructure around its use, which wouldn't transfer to voting.
The important thing about voting protocols is that you don't need a chain of custody you can trust; you can tally the votes yourself, and verify which camp you were counted toward.
