Election officials assert that ballot drop boxes are secure and accessible for voters, despite various conspiracies, particularly from former President Trump and his supporters.
The 2020 election saw an surge in the use of drop boxes, which aided faster and safer ballot returns than relying on postal service. An Associated Press survey found no significant issues with them.
Claims of fraud regarding drop boxes, especially those popularized by Dinesh D'Souza's '2000 Mules', were debunked by law enforcement and faced legal backlash, highlighting the misinformation surrounding election processes.
In the lead-up to the 2024 election, many states have introduced restrictions on mail voting, resulting in anticipated lower participation compared to 2020, especially in key swing states.
