ELECTION FRAUD
Election fraud also known as electoral fraud, election manipulation, voter fraud, or vote rigging, is the illegal meddling in an election, either to increase the vote share of a supported candidate, to decrease the vote share of a rival candidate, or to do both. While it is distinct from voter suppression, it frequently coexists with it. Voter’s suppression is any action, whether legal or illegal, whose objective is to discourage members of a designated racial group, political party, or religious community from voting or registering to vote. Election fraud can take many different forms depending on the country.
