Electoral fraud, sometimes referred to as election manipulation, voter fraud, or vote rigging, involves illegal interference with the process of an election, either by increasing the vote share of a favored candidate, depressing the vote share of rival candidates, or both.
In the US at least, voter fraud is things like voting when you’re not eligible or voting more than once. Electoral fraud is things like rigging the election or illegal campaign funding.

This is election fraud, not voter fraud though, no?
What do you consider to be the difference? According to wikipedia the two terms are synonymous:
