The registration process gives a longer time and more chances to verify voters against a voter roll. There is a hard ballot that can be checked and re checked if someone thinks numbers aren't right. Sampling numbers can be picked and checked to see if someone's fears are valid and to what extent.
Fear is being used to create the expectation of fraud...okay, so, we will be able to see if those fears are valid, calm down.

Spell out how you think fraud will happen, and take measures to keep that thing from happening.
The fact of this matter is that neither Trump or the GOP can explain any way fraud can happen let alone happen, and the day they can is the day McConnell needs to take a vote on the ways that it can be prevented before hand. They intend to scream fraud despite there being no evidence of it, and run with the idea of invalidating whole blocks of votes on that premise. If you find say six cases of fraud in 10,000 votes it doesn't invalidate all 10,000, although this is the way things have been handled on multiple instances.
