GOP Sen. Rand Paul, of Kentucky, is being mocked online after he accused Democrats of “stealing” elections by legally persuading people to vote for them, Raw Story reports.

“How to steal an election,” Paul wrote before adding: “Seeding an area heavy with potential Democratic votes with as many absentee ballots as possible, targeting and convincing potential voters to complete them in a legally valid way, and then harvesting and counting the results” while sharing an article from the Washington Examiner about how Democrats carried Wisconsin in 2020.

Naturally, Twitter users were quick to point out to him that’s simply how democracy works.

“Convincing potential voters to cast legal ballots is how you win elections in a democracy.” CNN’s White House correspondent John Harwood wrote.

Georgia State Law professor Anthony Michael Kreis replied: “This is what we call—wait for it— voting.”

“They really believe it’s a scandal to help legal voters who might oppose them to participate in democracy,” replied Georgetown University political scientist Donald Moynihan.
