States have numerous legal safeguards in place to protect the security and accuracy of the election process before, during, and after voting takes place. They include:
- List maintenance to keep voter rolls up to date
- Testing and certification of voting systems to ensure that they accurately record all votes
- Review of mail ballots to verify authenticity
- Bipartisan oversight of voting and ballot counting
- Redundant records of vote totals that can be used to confirm outcomes, including a voter-verifiable paper record of nearly every vote cast
