42. That is a reasonable thing to worry about.

If you're in a swing state, you could volunteer to be a poll watcher.

Manipulating the vote after they've been cast is pretty damn difficult, if not impossible. Socking away boxes of votes after they've been cast is extremely rare, but that's the ideal place for poll watching.

The real cheating is in voter suppression and voters of more limited means having the right documentation to clear suppressive ID-check procedures. These last two are areas where volunteering can do a bit of good
