Digital voting is a hard, if not impossible problem due to the fact that attacks have the potential to scale and thats is not the type of risk you want to have when it comes to something so foundational.
Perhaps in smaller/local elections/situations, because there are far less margins to fuck around with, maybe.
In the Netherlands we do everything on paper, and the results are basicly in the same day (with a formal result some days later after it went through all the checks).
I am not aware of the 'because not everyone has a smartphone' argument, and it is definitly not the actual reason (for there are plenty of them) not to do such a thing.
