Well, for one thing, cell phones are easier to make a mistake on, and then there's the obvious fact that there's no verification method- steal someone's phone, send a text message and vote for them, whee! Of course, they could set up some complex password system but cell phones just inherently feel more insecure. And honestly, I wouldn't want braindead teenagers who text message 24/7 to vote.
