why what is good? this image lacks quite a bit of information. what qualifies as a modification? i bet many of these were good things in light of the covid pandemic, but if you wanted to have an actual conversation about it you'd have to post specifics. like maybe specific instances of fraud, and how the voting procedure modifications made said fraud possible.
