Voter fraud is just part and parcel of the U.S. electoral system. My mom allegedly voted for Clinton last election, except for the fact she was home all day that day. You think mail-in ballots don't conveniently go missing? Hell, 65,000 ballots were flat out rejected due to being too late, because the mail is slow.
People should vote as soon as they get the mail ballot. Leave plenty of time.
State governments could help too, by extending the time for the mail to arrive by a week. Or two weeks. It does delay the final numbers by that long but the last few ballots to limp in are unlikely to change statewide results.
Trump's whole campaign against postal voting is based on the untested idea that Dem voters are more likely to use postal than Rep voters. Wouldn't it be funny if it's actually the other way around?
