The headline shouldn’t use the term “voter fraud” as it’s a concept invented after the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act [1] to (one presumes) restrict democratic participation.
“Election fraud”, “electoral fraud”, are all far better for many reasons.
If you must refer to the other concept, “voter impersonation fraud” is the appropriate term.
