This is a good point, that paranoia can sometimes take you down a rabbit hole where a person waves away all logic, all probability, and takes everything, or invents things, to confirm the worst suspicions.
It's like the trap where if you agree, it's confirmation, and you disagree, then you must be in denial.

It’s striking where this kind of thinking can lead you and leave you. If you follow this broken-chain-of-custody logic, you could not trust the mail carrier or the guy who picks up the ballot dropbox, even if your own mail shows up every day. If you really commit, you might not be able to trust the mechanism that counts the votes, whether that’s a person or a machine or the official feeding the machine, since it’s easy to imagine how this idea of an individual’s subversion could carry from one civic process to the next, once someone pushes that kind of doubt into the system. If you follow the logic all the way, this kind of thinking could leave you, ultimately, alone vs. everything, surrounded by the eternal possibility of subversion.
