To monitor all drop boxes in the country. Then take anyone who tampers with boxes straight to jail for election interference and given the max jail time allowed. No more slaps on the wrist.

it might limit the hours available for use but it would automatically protect it.

for vote-collection/counting, including 24/7 police protection, all-angle video cameras, 12-foot fences with wire, and gated entrances/exits.
Not exactly your usual library. Besides, the point is 24/7 access.
Oregon only lost 3 ballots because they installed fire-suppressive technology in theirs. That seems like a good answer (along with video cameras) and putting them in police parking lots or transit-system parking with security guards routinely there.
