The former chairman of the Colorado Republican Party is charged with forgery and voter fraud for allegedly forging his wife’s[*] mail-in ballot from last year’s election, according to court records and sources.
Steven Curtis was the chairman of the state party from 1997 to 1999. He was charged Feb. 1 with one count of forgery of a public record, a fifth-degree felony, and an elections mail-in ballot offense, a misdemeanor.
Curtis spoke about voter fraud ahead of last year’s election.

Mail is not necessarily a problem...
Here (Switzerland) most people vote by mail. It's a lot more convenient, and - important point - you get a detailed set of documents with your ballot, written by the people for it and against it respectively. Obviously, you can inform yourself in other ways, but it's very convenient having the (presumably best) pro and con arguments sent to you along with the ballot. So you can sit down over a cup of coffee, read those arguments, and make your decision.
What would constitute voter fraud? Consider:
- Ballot theft? If I don't get my ballot, I'll go to the town hall and ask what happened. You would have to carefully steal ballots only from people who don't plan to vote. Unlikely to succeed on any sort of large scale.
- Submitting forged ballots? You get or create "extra" ballots, and fill the in for someone else. But: the ballots are organized so that the town knows who voted, without knowing who cast which vote. So again, you have to carefully only forge ballots for people who aren't going to vote, because duplicate names will be noticed.
- Voting the graveyard, etc. - doesn't work here, because towns here know who their residents are, and only residents get ballots.
Anything else is going to require collusion of the vote counters, or fraud at a higher level than individual ballots. Seems to me that voting by mail is actually pretty secure.

The real problem with mail-in ballots is that you don't know whose views are represented by the votes cast.
I would be willing to bet that there are many, many households where the patriarch or matriarch of the family collects all the ballots and either fills them in, or instructs the family members how to fill them in and then they are returned. Effectively, the patriarch or matriarch votes multiple times, while the family members are disenfranchised.
IMHO, postal votes should not be available on demand: they should only be available to people who have a good reason to vote by mail. My father made it to the polls to vote in person when he was in his '90s.
As for the voter information: there is no reason why this cannot be sent in advance to every voter. In fact, this is how it works where I live in CA.
