c) Mail in ballot fraud is also minimal, mostly because such a small percentage of voting is done by mail, mostly military and those travelling

d) However, and it's a BIG HOWEVER, if 100% of the voting was done by mail, you can guarantee the amount of fraud will be huge, and very well might have an impact on the results
b may not be true. It is unclear if JFK won Illinois because of fraud. Older elections including Hayes are also in doubt.

c as has been noted, a large % of votes in Florida are by mail, and 100% in several states are by mail. No one has found evidence of significant fraud, nor has it even been alleged to be an issue in those states.

d is an opinion.
