They can engage in asstroturfing.
Each letter costs between $200 and $600 to commission.
In the UK, if asstroturfing is suspected, all those
tens of thousands of letters thought to be from the same source
regardless of who signed it is bunched together
and counted as ONE VOTE. Your local granny genuinely
writing a letter would count as 2nd Vote.
If you put that policy into effect in USA, I wonder
how many billions of dollars of micoshaft money
would get counted as ONE VOTE including all those
letters written by dead people.
Dying is no excuse for an asstroturfer
to cop out of writing letters on behalf Micoshaft Corporation.
