vote tampering
Rigging election outcomes
Vote tampering is illegal interference with ballots, voting machines, or election records to alter results.
The term covers a range of fraudulent acts—destroying ballots, changing vote counts, manipulating software, or falsifying tallies.
Officials investigated claims of vote tampering after irregularities appeared in the count.
Accusations of vote tampering often become politically charged regardless of evidence.
