Do you seriously think the vast majority of Americans are going to replace their mailboxes with secure ones in the few months before the election? Would it even be possible even if they wanted to? Cause that's a TON of mailboxes nationwide that don't have basic security measures at all.

Mail in voting is actually more secure than many other means of voting because you have to go through the federal mail system to receive and send your ballot.

Going into someone elses mailbox and tampering with mail are automatic felonies even before any other wrongdoing and the USPS takes the crimes very seriously.

A far less secure scenario would be to have long lines of people out in public waiting many hours to vote in some locations, with polling places suddenly changing or closing down with little to no notice, while many people vote on machines that are error prone and often not secure from tampering.
