Voice vote. Naturally.

We want to know how many times you pee a day, but even though you're our bosses and voting for you is our job, you have no right to see how we vote.

I’d wager this went something like “listen, this is just an extension, we have the coronavirus depression to worry about, no time for nonsense, let’s get this over with by voice vote”.

This would certainly be a good time to make our preferences known.
