These are all of the following form:
> Rumor: Bad things can happen.
> Reality: Bad things cannot happen.
> Facts: We made bad things illegal. Therefore they can't happen.
Somehow this fails to be reassuring. A slightly more sophisticated take is that the "bad things" which fill in this template are precisely those things which legislatures thought up as the most likely threats to election integrity. That makes the "we made it illegal" approach that much less sufficient. The only thing on the whole page which is remotely a mitigation is the description of outdoor drop boxes being reinforced against tampering, which is... small potatoes.
