Because what you vote is supposed to be anonymous....

If you ignore the anonymous part, then it's obviously not an issue.

The only real risk comes if their voting server that decrypts votes would be compromised and no one would realise it. As with any electronic service there of course is some risk, nothing is 100% secure, but I would personally take that risk to vote electronically.

Here's an overview how their process works, feels pretty solid.

It's not a question if encryption fails, but when. Paper ballots are anonymous by design, unless you mark the ballots they are untraceable. Digital ballots don't have that feature.
