I haven't been reading everything lately, but I haven't seen anyone talking about mules and suitcases of ballots brought in by election workers.
The voter fraud that traitortrump and cohorts yelled about is pretty much all imagination. It would require a lot of poll workers being extremely lax at the jobs they volunteered to do, or be part of a vast conspiracy. The system is fairly immune to voter fraud, at least to the level necessary to change outcomes.
Vulnerability to election fraud will continue as long as the count somewhere depends on programmable electronic devices. (And as long as the 14th Amendment -- specifically, "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States" -- is ignored by the Supreme Court. Voter suppression is a form of election fraud). The official count should be based on the paper ballots, not digital devices.
Robust systems are not built by presuming they are robust.

This is not entirely accurate. Example, I am in Kentucky but the "Ballot-Marking Device" is the voter, who then feeds the ballot into an optical scanner.
