For a start in California mail in ballots have to be signed and the signature has to match the registered voter's signature on file.

So you're assuming someone can steal a bunch of registered voters' ballots and fake their signatures.

Nobody examines anything but a tiny sample of the signatures unless there is a recount.

Were there a persistent, large-scale problem, a small sample over many elections would detect it, but actually the process is that each signature is matched before the inner ballot envelope is moved forward to be counted.

Here in WA state, my daughter kept changing her signature and had to verify her mail-in ballot for several elections.
