The problem is that a vote should not rely on "people who have great
expertise in this area". If such an expert is lying, or wrong, someone
can fraud.

That is why physical elections with paper are not like electronic voting
: anybody can check the result of the vote and there is no fraud by
being present and watching, even without a PhD in cryptographic or whatever.

Ìf you can implement such a vote and everybody can understand and see
why there cannot be fraud, why not. But as far as there are things like
trusting people like great expertise (or some electronic hardware), this
is not good, transparent and everything...
