I love the way Tom Cotton thinks. Today he tweeted that there’s no question that expanding voting by mail opens up opportunities for fraud. Rather, he says this is question we should be asking about Democrats and mail-in voter fraud:
The question isn't whether expanding voting by mail opens up opportunities for fraud—it does.
The question is why are Democrats obsessed with eliminating all election safeguards?

In HEROES Act, along w/ billions for illegals, Dems require:
-No voter ID
-No notary/witness requirements
-Effectively no applications (voters get mail in ballots for all future elections)
-Effectively ban signature requirements
-Mandatory ballot harvesting everywhere pic.twitter.com/ESQ3gm00Gx— Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) May 27, 2020
Cotton took it right from their 3 trillion dollar bill. Boom.
Cotton also noted some cases of mail-in ballot voter fraud that the ‘smug liberals’ at Twitter tells us aren’t happening:
.@Twitter is "fact checking" the argument that mandatory vote-by-mail would be ripe for fraud.
It's absurd for twitter to exercise editorial control over a public policy argument.
And like most smug liberals, they're wrong on the facts.

Voting by mail is *already* a prime opportunity for criminals to try to rig elections.
There are countless examples.
Imagine how much worse it would be if suddenly nationwide & mandatory?

Tom Cotton is just a hack. Don’t believe your lying eyes, because Twitter knows best!
