Do you ever get confronted with a lie about voter fraud, but aren’t exactly sure how to combat the falsehood?
Well, here’s the perfect comeback for the next time someone tries to argue the president’s recent prognostication that foreign countries will flood the U.S. with fake mail-in ballots.

Now that we have this great explanation, let’s get back to dealing with the actual challenges facing the November election: making sure Democratic turnout is HUGE and preventing as much voter suppression as we can.
