Mail-in Voting Does Not Increase Chance of Election Fraud--Study

Anew study has concluded that the increase of mail-in voting during the last election due to the COVID-19 pandemic did not result a bigger risk of the results being disputed.

According to the study, published in the scientific journal Risk Analysis, the rise of mail-in ballots in 2020 did not jeopardize the safety of the U.S. election process, despite what has been claimed for more than a year by Donald Trump and his allies while pushing false crimes of widespread voter fraud.

In order to come to the conclusion, Natalie Scala, associate professor at Towson University and an expert in elections security, looked into the risks involved with mail-based voting, along with colleagues from the Towson and the U.S. Military Academy.

The findings are based on a data analysis of the potential risks with mail voting known as the "attack tree," generated in 2009 by the Elections Assistance Commission (EAC) and the University of South Alabama.
