evidence: Local election officials, in compliance with federal law, complete an effort to remove ineligible voters from the rolls such as those who moved not later than 90 days before an election. (Some removals still take place after that deadline, such as when people alert the elections office that they have moved or that a family member died.) But there are additional steps election officials take to protect the election. About two-thirds of states have laws requiring voters to show ID at the polls. The remaining 14 states verify voters’ identities in other ways, such as a signature which is checked against information on file. Mail-in voting has safeguards Trump has spread many falsehoods about voting by mail, even though he has sometimes used it himself as a Florida voter. Mail-in voting provides more opportunity for fraud than in-person voting, but it’s still rare. There are protections in place to prevent people from casting multiple ballots. Take California, which Trump has falsely criticized as sending seven ballots to every voter. California is one of eight states plus Washington, D.C., that send a ballot to all registered, active voters.
