Oregon has had vote by mail for at least 20 years and there is almost no irregularity in the process, either for voters or election officials. In the 2016 election, out of 2 million votes cast, they found something like 54 cases of voter fraud, mostly people voting after they'd moved out of their district. Election fraud in Oregon is equally rare -- the big one in 2016 was a Republican volunteer in Clackamas County attempting to toss out a box of dem voter ballots. I don't remember the specifics but I think they were caught almost immediately. The security thing is absolutely a red herring to discourage more states from adopting vote-by-mail, pushed by anyone who benefits from low turnout, because vote-by-mail significantly improves turnout without threatening election security in any meaningful way.
