Sen. Rand Paul questioned last Tuesday’s election results, comparing the more than 1 million stimulus checks that were sent to dead people to possible voter fraud.

“Your government sent 1.1 million dead people stimulus checks. Wonder how many of these folks also voted absentee?” Paul tweeted Monday morning.

The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration reported this summer that 1.1 million coronavirus aid checks were sent to people who had already died. The checks totaled nearly $1.4 billion.
