There's always a cycle to how the Left responds to a scandal. First, they say the scandal isn't happening, that it's a 'Right-Wing conspiracy.' Then, they admit it's happening, but it's not happening frequently and is therefore no big deal. The last stage is that they admit it's happening and that it's a good thing.
For this NBC story, we're somewhere between Steps Two and Three. After saying voting fraud wasn't happening, now they're admitting it's happening but that it's not 'widespread.' Incredible shifting of the framing on this.

The Trump administration has been struggling to demonstrate evidence of widespread voter fraud with just months to go before midterms and as President Donald Trump insists the nation’s elections are “rigged,” according to a review of cases by NBC News.
Move those goalposts, guys.

You don't have to show ANY ID AT ALL to vote in California.
That is proof enough of election fraud.
34,000 DEAD people were on the NC voter rolls!

They don't care, because it helps their side win.
So you admit there's fraud, it's just not widespread.https://t.co/7BPjpUZL4e

Yes. That's exactly what they've admitted.
NBC News changes their lingo.

It’s no longer “no fraud”, it’s now “no widespread fraud”. https://t.co/V7pmcA2pWZ
And eventually, they'll tell us that voter fraud is a good thing.
Notice what they do. The word “widespread” is always in the talking points. What does that mean? It doesn’t take widespread to flip elections in swing districts. Shouldn’t we all agree that any voter fraud is bad? https://t.co/weMoKT03vI

The only number of acceptable fraudulent votes is, and always will be, zero. Any fraudulent vote disenfranchises another voter. We thought the so-called 'defenders of democracy' would care about that. But they don't seem to.
