Admin would add voter's SMS numbers, and then instead of inviting via email they could be sent a text message w/ their link to vote.

Part of the motivation here is also as a backup option if the email gods aren't cooperating, as another way to get them their auth token.

One slight consideration is that sending SMS's is about $0.01 each. Not a huge deal but don't want to abuse this in free elections.

Could use Signal bot to send end-to-end encrypted messages to phone numbers, very cheap

Only downside is the voter needs to be on Signal already. We can use Signal API to first check if they're registered
