Electoral fraud, sometimes referred to as election manipulation, voter fraud, or vote rigging, involves illegal interference with the process of an election, either by increasing the vote share of a favored candidate, depressing the vote share of rival candidates, or both.
The person to whom I responded made a distinction between “election fraud” and “voter fraud” (not “vote fraud”). According to wikipedia, “electoral fraud” and “voter fraud” are synonymous. “Vote fraud” and “election fraud” redirect to the same page.
In the US at least, voter fraud is things like voting when you’re not eligible or voting more than once. Electoral fraud is things like rigging the election or illegal campaign funding.
What do you consider to be the difference? According to wikipedia the two terms are synonymous:
Electoral fraud
Vote fraud not voter fraud, covers elections and intimidating voters at the polls to my understanding. I’m happy to be corrected.

Thank you for the clarification.
