Voter ID laws for mail in ballots by state.
Voter ID laws only started in 2006 or 2007 in one state. They've had no measurable effect on voter fraud because fraud is so low it's basically nonexistent compared to the overall vote:
Justin Levitt, a voting expert at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, said voter fraud is rare but a stray case is not uncommon in elections. "You get a misguided family member once in a blue moon doing something they shouldn't be doing, and most of the rest of the frenzied, wildly inflated claims of thousands of ballots evaporate," he said.
In an earlier study, Levitt found 31 credible allegations of fraud out of more than 1 billion ballots cast from 2000 through 2014.

This election is no different. Mail in ballots are subject to various checks that make them as safe as in person voting. Half a dozen states have run elections entirely by mail in vote for decades now if I remember correctly.
Oh it's ok.
Trump and his people will continue spending millions of taxpayers' money, dragging this shit through the courts, wasting everyone's time, hurting the country and giving adversaries an early Christmas gift in the process. The shit show will last for months, bulldozing the Jan 20th date into oblivion... all because Trump's ego won't let him admit he lost. Eventually he'll leave in a huff... claiming the election was stolen from him... after having made a shambles of the (cough) transition process. The very next day he'll be Tweeting 24/7, going full bore to disrupt Biden's presidency as much as possible, and egging his supporters to do the same. Trump blamed Obama for everything including rainy days from Day One... but God forbid Biden even attempts to do the same.
I only hope after Trump is evicted from the White House, that he's made accountable for all the shit that was out of bounds because he was President. Throw the book at the asshole.
Not true. Frivolous lawsuits get tossed. Trump has the legal right to present evidence and the judges will decide if it is proof.
It's the way the legal system works.
They should do the sensible thing and have a re-election until they announce Trump wins.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I have this picture of Trump in his PJ's launching furniture onto the Whitehouse lawn and starting a massive bonfire. I hope that happens. I have no dog in this fight. I just think it would make for great TV.

Well that is your opinion, and I respect it, and yes he and probably all of us act like babies at times. But my point is that the courts are where cases are adjudicated and litigated, and frivolous cases are thrown out. So the courts will decide if the evidence presented constitutes proof. So we will have to wait. As it is every citizen's constitutional right to pursue redress in a court of law.
[i]And here's Michigan's longtime top election official trying to explain that that the allegations amount to people not knowing what they're talking about, and that these issues were "discussed and resolved with the leadership" of the local GOP.

Indeed.
“Trump’s behavior is without precedent among leaders in Western democracies,” said Serhii Plokhy, a Harvard historian. “Even in military dictatorships, the dictators more often than not honor the results of elections and they retire if they lose them”

He cited among a long list of examples, a false claim that “dead voters” had cast ballots in the city, a conspiracy theory that was shared last week by both Giuliani and Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), among others.
Schmit said that elections officials had taken the time to look at the ballot history of each deceased voter.
“Not a single one of them voted in Philadelphia after they died,” Schmidt said.

The Republican commissioner’s defense of the election’s integrity in his city, come as Trump and his GOP allies continue to baselessly cast doubt over the election results in the state broadly, but in the city of Philadelphia in particular.
“I have seen the most fantastical things on social media, making completely ridiculous allegations that have no basis in fact at all and see them spread,” the Republican elections official said. While acknowledging that many people were unhappy with the results he said he unable to comprehend “how hungry people are to consume lies and to consume information that is not true. ”
