The Kentucky Senator tweeted about disputed claims of voter fraud which were made in a lengthy blog post entitled “Anomalies in Vote Counts and Their Effects on Election 2020.”

The post questioned why President-elect Biden received “vote spikes” in the states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia in the early hours of November 4, as well as suggesting “statistically anomalous cases” in other states and questioned other voting results which had “an unusually high Biden-to-Trump ratio.”

Biden defeated Trump in several key states, with the counting of mail-in and postal ballots massively favoring the Democratic candidate. Trump has frequently complained that the election was “rigged” as a result of unproven mass voter fraud.

“Interesting…Trump margin of ‘defeat’ in 4 states occurred in 4 data dumps between 1:34-6:31 AM,” Rand tweeted. “Statistical anomaly? Fraud? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself. (That is, if Big Tech allows u to read this.)”

Twitter soon flagged Paul’s tweet about election fraud as containing disputed information.

Paul was condemned on social media for sharing the misinformation claiming that there was anything untoward about the counting of votes for Biden—which cut into Trump’s early lead in these states—amounting to fraud.

“Is Rand Paul a moron? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself,” tweeted The Lincoln Project, a Republican PAC consisting of Trump critics.

“Or… what if all the votes coming in early that morning were mail-in ballots from big, deep-blue cities? Because that’s exactly what it was. I was watching CNN. Every time a big dump came in, they announced the numbers and percentages,” added news anchor Ed Greenberger. “It’s over. He’s done.”

Writer Jenna Quigley tweeted: “GOP: ‘You states can’t start counting mail-in/absentee ballots until the polls close, even though we will have a historically huge amount of mail-in and absentee votes.

“Also GOP: ‘Why was there a big dump of votes for Biden after polls closed on Election Day in these states?!’”

Journalist and radio hist David Shuster tweeted: “These ‘data dumps’ came from urban/African American precincts. It would have been an ‘anomaly’ if the vote ratios for Biden were not 90-10. @RandPaul, if you want these precincts to report votes earlier, maybe give them election resources they’ve asked for and you’ve withheld.”

In a statement to Newsweek, Paul said: “Asking people to think for themselves, and asking that our elections be verified free of fraud, would seem to be basic, easy concepts. They are apparently too much for the media and big tech to handle, though, so they have to attack and censor.”

Trump is continuing to claim without evidence that Biden’s election win is not legitimate because of mass voter fraud and illegal voting. Trump has had several lawsuits thrown out for failing to disclose any substantial evidence to his claim.

Recent recounts in Wisconsin’s Dane County and one in Milwaukee County—which was requested by Trump’s team at a cost of $3 million—also saw Biden achieve net gain of 87 votes in the state he was already declared the winner in.
