Seems like someone could get a mail in ballet and sell it to somebody else?

Yes, this is why I also don't really like mail in voting despite it being so much more convenient.

I've heard lots of stories where the head of the household fills in the mail in ballots for the whole family.

Of course!

Abuse of mail in / absentee ballots are one of the few frauds that actually happen. The elderly and tight-knit religious groups are particularly vulnerable.
