I think that's a very big leap to make, that the ballots are going to where they're going because of fraud. Hanlon's razor applies.
> ballot box stuffing
Ballot-box stuffing happens when more ballots are cast than there are people who voted. This is difficult to do when voting by mail. Indeed, from the article:
> LeVan Hodson told KING 5, "Even if someone gets a second ballot (or more), whether under their name or someone else’s, we’ll only ever count one ballot per registered voter with their matching signature."
When you receive the envelope, you check the signature against what's on file. You also check records to see if the voter had voted elsewhere (such as at an early-voting location). You can check to see if the voter reported not receiving their mail-in ballot. You can do all these checks before opening the envelope. And once you do open the envelope, it's easy to see if multiple ballots had been included in the envelope.
But you have to know which 50k voters in which state, and be able to put your thumb on the scales without tipping off the dozens of people who are professionally employed to prevent exactly this scenario.
More than a few people have been caught trying to cast just a single extra vote.
How in the world are you going to pull off a massive conspiracy like in the midst of the most scrutinized election in the world.
that's hardly reassuring given how close this election is going predicted to be.

There’s more than 4000 questionable ballots in the entire US election.
source? The most I can find is this: https://lancasteronline.com/news/local/4-000-mail-in-voters-...
which provides no information for why the ballots were "questionable".
Mailed ballots are verified against voter registrations and signatures are checked against the signature on file. This woman with a bunch of ballots for former residents of her apartment would gain essentially nothing and open herself to serious criminal penalties if she tried to vote as anyone except herself.

It also includes some misinformation, saying " signature verification is a critical part of ensuring that only valid ballots from eligible voters get counted" ... while many states, including Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Georgia, do not verify signatures.
