Looking for Trevor Noah/Daily Show clip about absentee ballot fraud

Trevor Noah did a bit about the steps one would need to take if one wanted to commit voter fraud via mail-in ballot.
It illustrated the ridiculous number of steps it would take and how unlikely it would be to do it successfully on a big enough scale to affect an election.
The steps were: knowing whether or not person was already registered, knowing their personal information, being able divert just the mail-in ballot to a new address, or being able to intercept the mail by waiting by a mailbox every day for days or weeks that it takes for ballot to be delivered, etc. There were something like eleven steps and everything had to coordinate just so.
I saw it on YouTube but searching there...endless scrolling. I think it was post-2018 election but done in the studio, so pre-corona.
