It is rather naive to believe some degree of voter fraud doesn't happen on either side of the political divide.
Note, no "imo".

There are audits and studies constantly going back through the elections to close risk areas and keep the integrity as solid as possible. Keeping elections honest is important to pretty much everyone. The level of fraud has never risen to the level where it can come anywhere close to the level required to change an election result. Trump's own top election official called last November the most secure election in our history. Before he got muffled. Much more effective in molding election results is playing with the voting rules, allowing large groups to either be favored or disfavored, affecting the odds of who will actually cast their vote. It is no mistake that residents in poor counties in Georgia, that tend to vote Democratic, had to wait for hours in line in the hot sun to vote, while residents in nearby well off counties, that tend to vote Republican, had no wait at all. It is also no accident that Georgia Democrats engaged in what might be the most massive "get out the vote" outreach campaign ever. When more people across all sections of a state vote, Democrats win. When fewer people vote, Republicans win. Both parties acknowledge this simple reality. So ... the place to keep a careful eye is in the state and local rules and policies. Yes, altering the rules tends to be legal (rule changes can be challenged in court), but it is also highly effective in altering outcomes.
