The comment above lists many solutions that require compromises to work.

We can make compromises on a covid-tracking app. Worst case scenario: fewer people install it and it's less effective—still better than not having it in the first place.

We can't make compromises on a voting system—worst case scenario: democracy is overthrown forever.

There is a BIG difference in the threat models here. The prople objecting to electronic voting recognize that a major breakthrough in computing security is needed before we get there. OTOH we van probably design a _reasonable_ covid app with acceptable compromises.

If you think that having your position tracker is unacceptable: great for you, stand up for your rights. Most people do have google maps and its tracking installed, and don't give a crap _because it lets them see traffic_. I think the tradeoff here is definitely better.
