Even though they're inadequate, if the protocols and safeguards on the election were followed it would make it difficult for a relatively small group of people to significantly alter the election through fraud. Preserving the chain of custody on the ballots, ensuring ballots are counted under adequate observation, keeping voter registration up to date, and only allowing absentee ballots for people who request them and provided photo ID would make it extremely difficult for a few people to change the outcome of an election.

With each safeguard that has been eroded it becomes progressively easier to steal the election, and we're at a point where 4 people could have (most likely did) change the vote totals by hundreds of thousands of votes.
