This is a really frustrating response I keep seeing. Just because the claim of widespread voter fraud was false doesn't mean there aren't legit concerns about voter security, especially given major changes in election processes that occurred in 2020.

As an example, drop boxes were not common in most states before 2020. They are a good idea, but having a bunch of ballots gathered in one place can be an obvious risk if they are not secured so rules that limit their locations/times to places they can be observed make sense.
Similarly, voter ID is a common-sense measure to ensure that the people voting are supposed to be. Even if voter fraud is not widespread, any illegal votes can cancel out and devalue the votes of Americans. Gov't has a responsibility to prevent that.
Ballot harvesting is a serious concern. You don't want activists picking up people's ballots with the possibility of influencing how ppl vote or even provide an opportunity to change/throw out ballots so restricting who can collect/turn in ballots make sense.
These are all common-sense security measures. They don't actually prevent anyone who wants to vote from voting. They simply ensure that process is secure. You can argue about motives all day long, but there is nothing objectionable or outrageous here.
