If we can vote by mail, why not vote by email? How about vote by phone? If ANY method of scrutiny is considered a violation of the right to vote, then anything goes right? No restrictions!

Vote by robocall might not be a bad idea? The machine can be vetted open source, so everyone can see it's fair and working properly and close any security holes. It calls registered voters. It tells you one half of your secret code so you know it's real, asks you to put in the second half of your secret code so it knows you're real, and asks you to push in your vote, and then asks to confirm your vote, in case you fatfingered the button. It adds the vote to its database, already counted, checks off your registration ID so nobody else can vote on it, and goes to the next registration ID. We can have votes counted in real time for the media, and since no human is involved they can't be rigging it.
And livestream the entire thing
No, that would compromise and dox people. You'd be able to match votes with phone numbers.
How can you have accountability without transparency?
How can you have freedom without privacy?
