If everyone in the country used the same voting system then any statistical bias in that system affects every vote. You are voting via web page? It could come down to the instruction wording; page colors, fonts, graphics, background... who knows what could have a statistical effect.
For the same reason there should not be a Starbucks on every street corner in the world. Because if they start using a "special sauce" that causes cancer or the like, the whole world gets hammered.
The strength resulting from our non-centralized and locally varied government should not be overlooked.
