Think about it. For a mail-in vote to be cast and counted, it has to match up with an actual REGISTERED VOTER on the voter rolls. Once that individual vote has been received in the mail, no other vote can be counted for that individual voter. If another one comes in claiming also to be that same individual registered voter, ONE OF THOSE VOTES HAS TO BE FRAUDULENT AND THE FRAUD WILL BE KNOWN. If that fraudulent vote comes in the mail not attached to any individual voter's name, IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED. So the only fraudulent voting that is even possible can only amount to a fraction of the registered voters on the voting rolls. If the fraud is widespread enough to affect the outcome of the election, IT WILL BE KNOWN because a large number of registered voters will have multiple voting attempts attached to their names. And any voting attempts not attached to any registered voter's name will be known as fraudulent and will not be counted.

This is why the kind of widespread voter fraud these right wing con artists are alleging is IMPOSSIBLE. The orange con-man-in-chief is making all kinds of ludicrous, preposterous claims about cheaters copying multiple ballots and mailing ballots to your dog or whoever. We all need to be pushing back against these silly claims.
