Because people were caught. And dmvs were handing out voter registrations to non-citizens. it's easy to prove a positive. How do you prove a negative?

“How widespread is election fraud in the United States? Not very.”

From the linked article, by a very well-respected organization, the Brookings Institute, who used data from the Heritage Foundation:

In the highly contested state of Pennsylvania, Heritage data goes back 30 years and covers 32 elections with over 100 million votes cast and found only 39 cases of voter fraud.
The percentage of fraudulent votes in Arizona over the last 25 years of elections was a minuscule .0000845%, and no election outcome in the U.S. has ever been altered by ballot fraud

You know that that particular claim was thorough debunked, right? If it's the easy to prove a positive, why isn't there any proof that this happened? Oh yeah, because it didn't.
