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.
After the report, the watchdog recommended that Congress “provide Treasury with access to the Social Security Administration’s full set of death records, and require that Treasury consistently use it, to help reduce similar types of improper payments.”
Rep. Thomas Massie seemed to echo Paul, questioning the integrity of voting via mail when most “of what shows up in your mailbox is junk mail.”
“75% of what shows up in your mailbox is junk mail... and some people thought this would be a good venue for holding a presidential election?” he tweeted Monday.

1.1 Million Stimulus Checks Sent To Dead People, Watchdog Finds
I did not get any stimulus check.
Cannot even get status.
Filing returns and paying taxes continuously for last 32 years.
Corrupt incompetant US (even Trump’s) government.(period)
The keyword in your post is "government." That's always a flag to watch out for gross incompetence. The only cure is limited government, not so limited that it doesn't perform vital government functions, but as limited as possible (while performing vital functions). You can always err a little on the slightly larger side but you must be ever-vigilant of ongoing government-growth creep. Obviously, that hasn't happened.
BOOM!
Good question, Senator.
