If there was a voting app, maybe then they'd manage to figure it out.

If Boomers want us to be lazy and entitled and always on apps, then we can do that from home instead of going out and infecting the Greatest Generation. I happen to work in a Millennial targeted shared office space designed for close collaboration and togetherness so we collectively revolted last week to force them to allow remote work from home starting this week.

The flip side are conservative Millennials killing off their own Grandparents to "own the libs" or whatever. And some on the supposedly liberal side want to punish Boomers for destroying the planet. The folks continuing to go out in large crowded spaces and then visiting elderly people are the worst.

Call Grandparents on the phone instead of visiting. My family uses Facetime, Skype, Whatsapp, etc. because we're geographically dispersed. So yes, there are apps for this.

And some states are moving to a vote by mail system because of the virus. Why not have an authenticated online system for voting using the same types of identity verification people use to sign up for Social Security/Medicare or pay taxes to the IRS or apply for credit cards? That would increase voting turnout over standing in long crowded lines in many cities.
