1. Well, for one
Voter fraud is virtually non-existent. Election fraud, on the other hand...

4. it is annoying and highly inaccurate for them to conflate election and voter fraud in what is
otherwise a fairly informative article.

3. Election fraud is real
"Voter" fraud is a farce.

5. election fraud is rigging the RESULTS of the election by officials, or those counting the ballots
voter fraud is when someone tries to cast an illegal ballot. the first is real (as in the county that had 300 registered voters, and 3,000 votes for bush), the second is virtually nonexistent.

6. Voter fraud - when individual voter commits fraud, such as pretends to be someone else.
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 09:32 PM by SharonAnn
Elelction fraud could be when someone tampers with the vote count.

One is inidividual, the other is related to the system.

For example, here in Tennessee in 1908, the president of the GOP Women's Club committed Voter Fraud by voting twice, once under another person's name in a different precinct.

Leave it to those GOPers to show us how to do Voter Fraud!

10. Election fraud is what Republicans do to win elections.
Edited on Fri Apr-29-11 09:39 PM by NYC Liberal
Voter fraud is a boogeyman Republicans use to put onerous requirements on voting to dampen turnout to help them carry out election fraud.

12. Stealing several million votes as opposed to one?
Is this a trick question?
