Madness In My Method

How is it that I can successfully file for unemployment, renew my driver license, renew my toll tags, renew my license tags, file my taxes all online and/or by phone without having to come into physical contact with a single person (with the exception of once every Blue Moon when the DMV insists on a new, updated picture, which I can't just upload like I can for a passport - oh yeah, another thing that can be added to the list), and which all involve varying state and federal agencies, yet we're still sitting here arguing over mail-in versus in-person elections?
