2. I wish people would stop saying "voter fraud"...

Voter fraud is a term Republicans use to challenge voters and say people are voting illegally.

That's pretty much the only meaning of the term.

I realize people are using the term because it's the closest term they have in the common vocabulary to express that there is some cheating in the election.

Maybe "election fraud" would fit better or sometimes voter suppression is the apt description.

This isn't directed at DU, but more so for rest of the internet. DU members are very savvy with election vocabulary and also quite good looking.
