"So long as they provide written authorization", that is the key here. I can only hope that Trump is baiting Federal employees to try and alter a presidential election, and then sign their name to it.
If there is written authorization for every ballot that is back dated, then it shouldn't be hard for a motivated legal team to assess when those ballots were backdated, and by whom. If it turns out that just enough ballots were backdated to change the election, and they were backdated after other ballots were already counted, then it wouldn't be hard to prove fraud.
The real question is what will the consequences be? In my mind a Federal employee deliberately trying to alter an election is at least sedition, and an argument could be made that it is treason.
