Tom Tiffany, Regular Absentee Voter, Says I Dont Believe We Should Be Doing Mail-in Voting
Records indicate Tiffany has voted absentee 12 times since 2016, according to an official with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. It was not clear if those ballots were cast by mail or in-person at his local election clerk’s office.
MADISON, Wis. — Yesterday, new reporting from Up North News revealed that Tom Tiffany wants to make voting more difficult for Wisconsinites—including himself. Tom Tiffany believes Wisconsinites should not have access to mail-in voting, even though he has cast his own ballot via absentee voting 12 times since 2016. Despite being one of more than 1.5 million Wisconsin voters who voted absentee in the 2024 presidential election, Tiffany continues to peddle dangerous and debunked conspiracy theories to cast doubt on our elections.
- “The presumptive Republican candidate for governor parrots a false claim by President Donald Trump to defend his desire to cut accessibility for hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters.
- US Rep. Tom Tiffany, the presumptive Republican nominee in this fall’s election for Wisconsin governor, told a podcast host Thursday, “I don’t believe we should be doing mail-in voting,” making an exception only for members of the US Armed Forces.
- More than 1.5 million Wisconsin voters cast absentee ballots in the November 2024 presidential election in Wisconsin, including about 600,000 that were mailed in, demonstrating its ongoing popularity.
- Records indicate Tiffany has voted absentee 12 times since 2016, according to an official with the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. It was not clear if those ballots were cast by mail or in-person at his local election clerk’s office.
- Tiffany made his comment while answering a listener question on the DrydenWire podcast.
- “What are your thoughts on mail-in voting? From Carly,” asked host Ben Dryden.
- “So, um,” Tiffany said in a long pause before responding. “I don’t believe we should be doing mail-in voting. I believe now for our service members, yes, you have to have a means for them to be able to vote, but you really have to have tight controls around it in order to make sure that you don’t have dishonest voting that is going on.”
- There are no credible reports of any voter fraud among service members or the general population to the extent that it could cast doubts on an election’s results.
