host: michael mcdonald for the april to keep track of them?uest: there's a whole chapter in my book on this. the security election officials have around mail-in ballots and it is really difficult to forge a ballot so much so that what you have to have as some sort of inside job within an election office and there is no evidence anywhere that any of that actually happened. so i could go through the litany, it's in the book but even bill barr, trumps attorney general have made allegations before congress that there was going to be some conspiracy about foreign government who tried to submit mail ballots, at the end he said there is no evidence of that. there really couldn't be, it's very complex. to answer the caller's question they barcode ballots, envelopes, they even have really cool innovations on how they run the other actions. they were running ballots as they were moving through the mail system. we do have a very robust system for tracking individual ballots and to anyone who is trying to forge a ballot would have to somehow defeat that.
