A transparency log, as I understand them, requires a centralized actor; which makes it easier to fudge numbers and introduce false participants.

No, because each participant can check its contribution in the log.

Everybody gets a copy of a verifiable hash etc when voting, allowing voters to mathematically check their vote.

The kind of knowledge allowing to design such clever algorithms is the real meaning of the word "crypto" (cryptography).
