For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Sorry, the term fraud has no such requirements, nor does the term voter fraud (although you could argue it is not because the practice is not illegal, whereas my counterargument would be it that any system that considers it legal is already questionably not so). Anyway, have fun reaping what you sow, it has been a broken system for decades with no shortage of denialists like you. It's not going to get fixed when the system is at its worst as it is now.

Alright. Here's the definition pulled from Google

wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.

I don't think you understand what I'm saying though. I don't like the electoral college, but it's not fraud. I don't deny any election results. It's just that words mean things and nobody is lying about how the electoral college works or how gerrymandering works.

The electoral college is in the US Constitution so calling it a wrongful deception is a weird take.

Oh look, here's another case of totally not voter fraud going on: Supreme Court rules RFK Jr. will appear on battleground ballots despite suspending campaign. I'm sure you'll be able to pull a very authoritative definition about why this isn't voter fraud either. Half of their battle is done by people like you. Again, have fun reaping what you sow, and have fun in your "very few instances of voter fraud" America, I just wish the rest of the world wasn't affected.
