There are risks in everything we do. And there’s no such thing as a 100% guarantee. It all depends on the threats and vulnerabilities to mail ballots and the likelihood of their occurrence. You take that information, see what the potential impact or consequence of what might happen, what controls are in place (preventative, detective, corrective) to secure the activity being performed, and then see what can be done to mitigate what happens should a risk event occurs.
It’s called risk management. And whether it’s liberals, moderates, or conservatives, unless they used risk management professionals to come up with these “concerns”, I’m not paying attention to it.

Here, in Florida, you have to request an absentee ballot. None are mailed automatically. Then, the ballot and the return envelope have a barcode (several actually) on them. The ballot must twin the envelope when opened and submitted. Once the barcode is scanned, the system is marked that you voted. And the envelope has to be signed by you which can be checked against official records - DMV mainly.
Several states do not have this setup - yet. Just mailing ballots to every house/apartment in the state does not guarantee that the person it was addressed to actually uses it. There have been enough stories of buckets full of ballots left rotting at USPS stations, of man in the middle attacks, etc.
I am quite familiar with risk management in my profession and military careers. Even when we think we have all the bases covered, something WILL come up that was not expected nor taken into consideration.
