Could posting ballots to the wrong address result in voter fraud? Possibly. 'More than half of states rely on signature matching to verify the identities of people who vote by mail. These states compare signatures they have on file (from voter registrations, ballot applications or the D.M.V.) with the ones voters put on their ballot envelopes.

But the practice is not implemented consistently across states, or even within them.' Could posting ballots to the wrong address result in voter fraud? There are multiple layers of security in place for mail-in ballots, which are also known as "absentee" ballots in many states.

All 50 states and the District of Columbia require a voter to sign a statement or affidavit when voting by mail, and some also require personal information such as birth dates, addresses and driver's license numbers. The signature can then be compared with the voter's signature on file, usually from a voter registration form.

Eight states also require a witness signature, while three states require notarization, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL). Alabama has perhaps the strictest rules, directing voters to submit copies of their IDs as well as signatures from either a notary or two witnesses.

The return envelopes are typically opened by a different group of workers from those who scan the ballots. Outside observers, often appointed by a political party or campaign, are allowed to monitor post-election procedures, such as ballot counting. All but four states - North Carolina, Kansas, Maine and Florida - explicitly permit partisan observers to watch some post-election processes, according to the NCSL.

In addition, ballots vary widely in appearance - not just from state to state but also from county to county and even from town to town, because most voters are not just making a choice for U.S. president but also for local offices. Any ballot that does not match the proper form will be rejected by election officials.

The bar codes also allow voters to track their ballots to ensure they have been received. How are mail ballots processed and checked for voter fraud in Washington DC? Envelopes are scanned and marked
