Focus on the people who don't vote

Why is it that a lot of politicians and the media are spending so much time and energy on voter fraud? A bigger issue is surely the more than 40 percent of registered voters who do not vote in national elections rather than the 0.000000067 percent who impersonate someone else.
But I suspect that no party wants the whole population fully engaged in the political process as that would mean they would have to be truly accountable to their electorate.
