Except in Soviet Union terrorizing all the opposition parties/majority of voters was long, costly and brutal process. Online voting makes the whole thing cheap, easy, and undetectable.

And they got caught. Everyone knew the elections were rigged. With electronic vote you can get away with the crime and nobody's wiser.

Vote results are always really close to pre-election poll results. You can't really manipulate the results too much unless you somehow prohibit polling.
