Why are mail in ballots such a potential issue? Here's a short list I found on Wikipedia: -Voter's request for postal ballot is lost or not received or processed in time, in states that require one, thus the voter must vote in person or not vote (for example over 9,000 properly requested ballots were not sent in Wisconsin in 2020) -Voter's request for postal ballot is altered or forged -In states that mail ballots to registered voters without request, some voters have died or moved, and any ballots not returned by the post office can get into the wrong hands -Election office sends voters the wrong instructions or a ballot with someone else's name on it, or wrong ballot, when offices on the ballot differ by party or district. -Voter does not receive mailed ballot, because it does not arrive at the address in time, or someone else takes it -Voter misplaces ballot, so must vote with provisional ballot, and someone else may find and vote the original postal ballot, leading to rejection of the provisional ballot. -Voter is pressured to vote a certain way by family, caregiver, or other, or provide the blank ballot to someone -Voters may be paid to vote a certain way -Someone collects many ballots and does not deliver the ones from neighborhoods likely to vote against the collector's candidates -Someone collects many ballots, opens envelopes, and marks votes; if voter has already voted, fraudster can mark extra votes on same contests, to invalidate ballot -Mail can be stolen from postal service -Staff can leave key in drop box. -Envelope printer prints erroneous tracking code on return envelope, so it may be processed inaccurately or rejected. -Voter's signature on envelope is missing (55,000 in 2018) or does not match signature on file (67,000), so either there is widespread fraud being prevented by signature reviews, or if these submissions were not fraudulent, then valid ballots are being rejected -Forged signature on envelope is accepted as close enough to signature on file, so invalid ballots are accepted -Signature rejection rates vary by race, county and state, ranging from none to 20% rejected -Election office receives the ballot late (114,000 ballots in 2018) in a Philadelphia experiment, most ballots were misplaced by the postal service, and even after they were found, 21% took more than 4 days to arrive and 3% took more than a week -Staff who open envelopes falsify or ignore ballots[11 -Compilation of votes omits postal ballots
