It is very difficult if not impossible to catch fraudulent mail in votes. The rules surrounding mail-in and absentee ballots seem like they're actually designed to make fraud easier (ie ballot harvesting).

- gus_massa 3y agoHere in Argentina in some places we had "chain voting" (Spanish) https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraude_electoral#:~:text=Voto%20cadena https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraude_electoral#:~:text=Voto%... autotranslation> Chain vote, allows the purchase of votes, the first one who enters to vote, puts another envelope (not the authorized one, but any one). That vote will probably be contested, but they take the valid envelope with them. Then he inserts a ballot from his party into it and closes it tightly, then he can organize a chain of votes making sure that they are in his favor, even if there is a dark room. He offers each person a reward if they bring the empty envelope in exchange for taking the full envelope. Frequently used in low-income areas where political leaders organize the chain. It's a lot of work to avoid the checks of voting in person. Without those checks it's too easy to force or pay someone to vote for a party and verify it 100%.
