So, I was looking up postal voting the other day - wanted to see how European countries do it
The entry mentions two things that protect the vote:
1) Signature Verification
2) Statistical analysis to catch evidence of fraud

Elon: "The AI satellite is much simpler than a Starlink satellite. The AI satellite is essentially a lot of solar cells, you still need some laser links, but you don't have all of the super complex antennas that you have on a Starlink satellite. The easier one to design for is the AI satellite. It's bigger. A lot of this is technology we've already made with the Starlink V3 satellites."

Fans at Miami game used a large team flag as an improvised safety net to rescue a cat that fell from the roof of a stadium, safely catching the animal before it hit the ground.
Another person responsible for the sound on Star Wars was sound designer Ben Burtt, responsible for creating the iconic effects in the film – the lightsabers, TIE Fighters, blasters, R2-D2, Chewbacca etc. Here he talks about creating the sounds of the Millennium Falcon.
