Donald Trump said the mail-in voting system will be substantially fraudulent.

Reports suggest that voter fraud is very rare in the United States and mail-in ballots will not substantially increase the risk of voter fraud.

Reports suggest that voter fraud is very rare in the United States and mail-in ballots will not substantially increase the risk of voter fraud.President Donald Trump had tweeted that the Mail-In Ballots would go to anyone, no matter who they are or how they got there and people that aren’t citizens in the upcoming U.S. general election.

A study conducted by Stanford University’s Democracy & Polarization Lab concluded that neither party would benefit from an entirely mail-in-voting system, and it does not affect either party’s share of turnout, rather it increases the average turnout rates which contradict claims in the media and by some persons.

Further, Richard L. Hasen, a professor of law and political science has highlighted that problems are extremely rare in the five states that rely primarily on vote-by-mail. The number of fraud cases was few compared considering that there are millions of votes being cast in the general elections. The New York Times editorial has also noted that there is less chance of fraud in case of mail ballots, while an investigative journalism analysis on voter fraud identified only 491 cases of absentee ballot fraud from 2000 to 2012.

Therefore, the claim that mail-in voting 'substantially' increases the risk of fraud is false.
