Surely voting by mail has the same problem - your family members, abusive partner, employer, etc etc, could force you to vote a certain way?

Sure, polling places are still offered in that case. The benefit of voting from home greatly outweighs the cons IMO.

I wasn't implying that voting coupons would still have the issue of people bullying you, just why we don't use that system anymore. And honestly coupons seem a little archaic to me, not to mention easy to manipulate.

Postal voting does have problems like granny farming and stealing postal ballots.
