You're assuming, of course, that those pushing for voting by computer WANT an untampered election.
Call me a cynic. All I can say is, follow the money.
By the way, some places also have an incredibly rational way of handling "runoff" situations. You vote for candidates in order of preference. If all the votes with a preference of 1 don't settle it (one of them gets > 50%), add in all the votes with a preference of 2. And so forth. Result: instantaneous runoff; and voters' actual preferences make a difference.
