For me the issue isn't voter fraud so much. We know it happens--I have witnessed it happening personally--but because so much evidence was destroyed we have no way to know to what it extent it has affected elections. And that is the number one problem.
A large majority of the electorate has no confidence that only those eligible to vote are able to vote, no confidence that their vote is counted or counted for whom they cast it. Without that confidence we are going to have a huge mess in every election for the foreseeable future.
All states should tighten up the process of registration to ensure that only eligible citizens register to vote, the voter rolls include only those properly registered and eligible to vote, and the election process should be tightened with policy, ability for verification and chain of custody that removes all doubt.
In my opinion, anybody who doesn't agree with that wants the current systems in place that make it much easier to cheat, falsify, scam, commit fraud.
There will never be any faith in our elections until we get rid of all technology in voting and bring back in person voting except for those incapable of voting in person. Just like they do in Europe, paper ballots only. If there is any evidence something may be amiss, you can always go back and recount paper ballots.
