no youre right thanks <| sep |> They are different . Voter fraud is one person voting illegally . Election fraud is a widescale attempt to rig an election . Voter fraud can be election fraud if it ' s organized . This is just semantics , though . Voter fraud is rare , and no one is saying otherwise right now . No one thinks that thousands or millions of people colluded to illegally vote . People are concerned about the possibility of a foreign entity rigging our election . Also , what Trump did was he claimed that the election would be rigged before it happened without any proof . The call for the recount is different . The election happened . It was unexpected . It was close . There have been quite a few weird situations with Russia recently . People think we should just verify that everything is kosher . I mean , I don ' t think most people calling for this even think Hillary will win with a recount . They just want to make sure that if there was some suspect activity , it gets caught so that kind of behavior can ' t be used in the future to actually impact an election .
