The chain of custody of mail in ballots begins with every state election commission.
Every mail in ballot is bar coded for tracking.
When the state election commission documents the lists of the mail in ballots and confirms that they were sent to voters by mail, the chain of custody is on the US Postal Service.

Citizens can prove they've applied for mail in ballots.
Mail in ballots are to go out a month before national elections, and can be mailed in as soon as received.

Tampering, losing, misplacing not knowing what happens to mail is penalized by four federal laws.
