I somewhat agree, but at the same time, e-voting via internet and phone has been a thing in Estonia since the 90's. I think it's a terrible idea, but it's how it's done there. I don't think it would be that foolish for people to believe the same concept could be brought into the US, especially if it was under some strange situation like a pandemic. There are even a bunch of blockchain-based startups trying to push the idea, claiming it can be done securely with modern cryptography (which is not true IMO).
