Claim: An Expansion of Mail-in Ballots would increase the chance of theft in the USA.

Q1: Who made this claim about the potential for theft of mail in ballots?
A1: Donald Trump

Q2: Has Donald Trump voted by mail in ballot?
A2: Trump voted earlier this year, in a no-excuse absentee vote state -- meaning that a voter can request an absentee ballot (aka one you fill out at home and mail back to the election authority) without offering any excuse for why they want to do so.
Which is what Trump did. Being president is a more than full-time job, and he couldn't make time to travel to Florida to cast a vote in person. So he voted absentee.

Q3: How secure is mail in voting (absentee ballot voteing)?
A3: Numerous safeguards are included in the absentee voting process. Absentee ballots are sent only to registered voters who request them using an official N.C. Absentee Ballot Request Form before the deadline. The request must be signed and include identifying information about the voter, including date of birth and driver’s license number or last four digits of the voter’s Social Security number. Voters must vote their ballot in the presence of two witnesses or a notary, and those witnesses must sign the absentee return envelope certifying that the voter marked their ballot and is the registered voter submitting the marked ballot.

Only the voter or their near relative or legal guardian may return the ballot. Upon return, the county board of elections reviews the absentee envelope to ensure compliance with the legal requirements. Once the ballot is accepted, that voter is marked in the system as having voted in that election.

Data on who has requested absentee ballots is now confidential until Election Day. Criminal penalties have been increased for absentee voting fraud-related offenses. Many people are watching our absentee voting process, including candidates, political parties, county boards of elections, and political and data scientists. If there are anomalies or questionable activities, they will be identified by or reported to election officials.

Finally, the State Board of Elections has an Investigations Division that investigates credible allegations of elections fraud and refers cases to prosecutors when warranted by the evidence. The State Board also conducts several post-election audits which will catch inconsistencies that can then be investigated by the board or the Investigations Division.

Q4: What prevents someone from voting absentee and then voting again in-person?
A4: If someone has voted an absentee ballot and then shows up to vote in person, the check-in system will alert the poll worker that the person has already voted. Voting twice in the same election is a crime and is investigated by the State Board and referred to prosecutors when warranted by the evidence

justification: The QA cover a lot of ground in terms of information around voter fraud and mail in ballots, there good probing question and good answers which give a very good view of it and allow for a good decision on the claim. Based on the information gathered from the QA it appears the claim itself was made by Donald Trump, we know that he has a problem with mail in ballots as he often refers to them as being a method of rigging an election, the QA has found that Donald Trump himself however used a mail in absentee ballot to vote. Theres plenty of information from further QA to discover that theres lots of secure safeguards in place to both prevent voter fraud and it also prooves that someone is not possible to vote by mail then in person. For this claim I have therefore refuted it.

verdict: 'Refuted'
