So you're arguing that absentee ballot by mail is the problem? None of the states in question did automatic mail in voting. Each voter had to apply for absentee. And given the politicization of the pandemic, Trump made it a virtue signal to vote day-of in person. So of course the absentee vote was heavily D, and it came in from heavily D areas to start.
I voted absentee and honestly it felt more secure than any in person voting I've ever done. I had to apply, fill out, and then drop off my vote in a box. My wife wasn't even allowed to drop off my vote, and instead I had to do it personally. I was then able to track it online and verify it was counted without an issue. Contrast this to when I hit some buttons in person and have no idea what happens after that. The point is, you have to trust the process at some point, and in this case fraud is so unlikely across multiple states with 10s of thousands of votes.

No. It's just one factor.
For the rest, respectfully, you'll have to actually read my comments. Your responses haven't yet taken into account anything in my comments. It's like you saw the word "mail-in" and just typed out a response.
Is there a small amount of fraud? It wouldn't surprise me at all to find some in every election.
How about a thought experiment: If you wanted to do it on a large enough scale to swing an election, How would you do it? Say you knew that there are three states which are going to be very close, and you wanted to add 10000 votes for your preferred candidate in each state. What would you do?
Excellent question. I don't know the answer. That's why I think we need a "red team" or "bug bounty" program to investigate.
How many ballots can fit in a mail truck? What does the chain of custody look like for all the different ways people can vote? What does the process look like when that chain of custody is suspected to have been broken? We've all seen how easily technological systems can be compromised through social engineering. Are there any gaps in the processes that could be exploited?
