I think, unfortunately, what you are seeing is disinformation being around voter fraud; around, you know, stolen elections. I think that is what is fueling these election changes, it is what is fueled the January 6 insurrection, and it has fueled what State legislators are responding to, this false narrative around stolen elections or voter fraud.
