Yes, controlled ballot papers and envelopes.

You need gazillions of ballots going to someone who is the dedicated to committing fraud. There is no evidence that occurred, and it's easy to detect. Ballots are numbered, so if a bunch of sequential ones all are the same you can see it.

The process for this was all decided before the election. There's zero evidence that fraud occurred, and all people are pointing to is parts of the process they don't like.

Who could see it, specifically?

The Texas lawsuit is about exactly this; they allege that the process (including things like signature verification) was not in fact followed.

(Or at least that's my understanding. I claim no expertise!)
