What about vote harvesting? Mail-in Ballots open the door for this abuse a lot more than before. Just drive around and offer to return Ballots or "help" people

  Stuff like that tends to get out. For example: https://www.npr.org/2019/07/30/746800630/north-carolina-gop-operative-faces-new-felony-charges-that-allege-ballot-fraud https://www.npr.org/2019/07/30/746800630/north-carolina-gop-...

    Ya, well in SF they've more-or-less made this very thing legal. Read into that what you want.

      it kills me how whenever one raises a question or criticism about the potential for voter fraud in mail-in voting a huge cloud of vitriol descends upon them. It shouldn't be necessary to prove that voter fraud exists in order to wonder about the propensity for fraud. I lived at the same address in San Mateo for 18 years and every time I voted at the polls I would check the book and see there were 3-4 folks registered to my house that I did not know. I complained to the county multiple times and they informed me it didn't matter, those folks were not voting. Then in 2008 I started walking neighborhoods for the local Republican Party. They gave me a list of registered voters and the most recent elections they voted. I checked my address and sure enough all of those extra voters had been voting. Also one additional person was listed. I went back and complained to the party HQ and at the county assessor's office. Those folks stayed on the list until 2013. I moved in 2017 and submitted the form to cancel my registration. Guess what? I checked just now and I'm still registered to vote in San Mateo! Wonder if I voted in the last election there?
