One in five mail-in voters admit to cheating in 2020 presidential election in the US

Here's an interesting survey that only made headlines in outlets decidedly sympathetic to the Republican party. Why isn't this news everywhere else? Why isn't anybody else trying to replicate it, given its findings?

I distinctly remember being told that the US presidential election in 2020 was the most secure ever, even though most states do not even practice voter identification and nearly half of all ballots (43%) were submitted by mail.

Now we learn that as many as 20% of those mail-in votes were cast in breach of the law, with some submitted by people who didn't even live in a particular state anymore.

And that is by people's own admission - who knows how many may have lied in their replies.

"17% of mail-in voters say that in the 2020 election, they cast a ballot in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident."

"Twenty-five percent (25%) of whites, 35% of black voters, 49% of Hispanics and 41% of other minorities say they voted by absentee or mail-in ballot in the 2020 election.

Minority voters are significantly more likely than whites to say they engaged in fraudulent election activities in 2020.

For example, whites (3%) are much less likely than black voters (15%), Hispanics (29%) or other minorities (8%) to say someone offered to pay them to vote in 2020."

"31% of voters under 40 who voted by mail in 2020 say they cast a mail-in ballot in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident, compared to 11% of those ages 40-64 and just two percent (2%) of voters 65 and older."

How can this happen in 21st century America, seriously?

Considering that a few crucial swing states went to Biden by very narrow margins, this could definitely have impacted the outcome of the vote.
