It's weird how Republicans see "voter fraud" as so rampant but they never...

Call out Republican Secretaries of State for certifying these voter fraud tainted elections
Or call for international election observers to be present during elections
Or call for abstaining from voting because the vote is supposedly so tainted and voting would just give legitimacy to a tainted system
Or plead for transnational human and civil rights organizations to look into the issue

I mean, there are ways to combat this "voter fraud" other than making it harder for non-white people in congressional districts with funny shapes to vote, right?

Right?

We need to start referring to them as the Republican Fascist Party.
Might as well call it what it really is.

They complained about welfare fraud, but instead of increasing the budget for monitoring and enforcement, they destroyed the system.

Same thing here. They whine about non-existent voter fraud while they egage in election fraud 'behind the scenes' to guarantee their re-election. Why would they want to 'fix' a system that is working in their favor. That's why the Senate won't even debate the bills on McConnell's desk to help the states ensure fair elections.

during interviews with GOP politicians.

"The media is only as liberal as the conservative corporations that own it." A bumper sticker I once saw.

fraud, which is the term used by those who wants to suppress votes. The voters are not committing the fraud. Semantics are very important here and we need to always use the term ELECTION fraud.
