There have been mail-in ballots since the Civil War, when soldiers were unable to vote in their precinct because they were stationed elsewhere. And since the Civil War, there has been NO statistically significant incidences of mail-in ballot fraud.
Yes, some folks have tried to vote twice - once with a mail-in and once at their voting location. But when that happens, the mail-in becomes invalid and doesn't count. In some cases, the person will be detained at the voting location and informed that they've already voted and can't vote again.
This is standard procedure and has been since the 1800s. Fear-based reactions of problems that don't exist, do nothing more than increase the profits for pharmaceutical companies that sell Xanax and Valium.
