Both conservatives and liberals are concerned about voter fraud, but each with totally different aspects. For the most part, liberals are afraid/against machine/paper-free voting tallies and conservatives are freaked about people voting who don't have the right to vote.
In essence, machine rigging is a money issue--the big corporations/donors have motive and opportunity. On the other hand, registration fraud is really only practical if you have the grassroots and access to significant populations of non-qualified voters.
These are not equivalent arguments and I'm not making the case that they are. I'm just pointing out that both sides dismiss the prevelence and importance of the other side's fraud. (Repubs say there is no machine tampering, Dems claim (rightly I believe) that there is no real registration conspiracy).
So, everyone seems to agree that election fraud is occurring, and at the same time everyone also agrees that election fraud is not a problem.
Once again, I do NOT believe there is a significant number of illegal votes being cast (so, I believe in "no election fraud" in that aspect). I DO believe that there may be and quite possibly HAS been deliberate tallying error in e-voting (so, I believe there "is election fraud"
