Look into actual historical precedence. What you suggest is a concern, is not a concern, because it has never happened, and mail-in voting has existed in one form or another since the Civil War.
Prosecution on voter fraud charges carries a max penalty of 1 year in prison. Seems to be enough deterence for US citizens. Now, Russian HACKERS are a different situation. They are clear to taxi!
