I might be mistaken. But either you have the ability to verify your specific vote was cast, for the person you expected to cast it for. Or you don't.
It would seem impossible to offer election confidence to the majority of people without a simple system that has this property.
If kidnapping and torture are on the table for your threat model. I think most people's voting record could be figured out with near 100% accuracy if they get access to your computer logins, emails, hacker news account, and all your social media accounts. Which according to your coercion model, they totally could. No need to go after your vote token specifically.
So unless the voting system singles you out in particular (which a random token wouldn't. Every vote would have one). Ruling it out as a solution because of a super low probability scenario seems like a misattribution of probability in the face of clear value (ie. easy and private verifiability by all parties).
Having secure elections is how we create a world where no one has to worry about coercers coming after them.
