Tiffany posed a threat to democracy due to his support of overturning the 2020 election and voting against the certification of Joe Biden’s victory. The Congressional Integrity Project named Tiffany as a key election denier connected to the January 6th insurrection.
Tiffany also repeated false claims that mail-in voting increased fraud and said “I don’t believe we should be doing mail-in voting.” Records showed that Tom Tiffany cast absentee ballots more than a dozen times since 2016, even while suggesting there was “rot” in the election system.
2020: Tiffany Was The Only Member Of Congress From Wisconsin That Supported The Texas Lawsuit Seeking To Overturn The 2020 Election Results. According to the Badger Project, “U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany was the only Wisconsin member of Congress to publicly support an extraordinarily unusual and rejected lawsuit last week in which Texas asked the Supreme Court to flip the electoral votes in four states where President Donald Trump narrowly lost. Election experts and politicians from both parties slammed the suit — aimed at Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — as a cynical attempt to disregard the will of voters. […] Tiffany explained his support in an email Tuesday to The Badger Project. ‘As I have said before, this is bigger than President Trump or Joe Biden,’ he said. ‘This lawsuit is about the integrity of our system. Every legal vote must be counted, credible complaints of fraud and irregularities must be investigated, and legitimate legal challenges must be heard and addressed by our independent judiciary.’” [Badger Project, 12/14/20]
2021: Tiffany Objected To Certify Biden’s 2020 Presidential Win In Arizona And Pennsylvania. According to the Associated Press, “Two Wisconsin Republicans objected to certifying Joe Biden’s victories in a pair of states before his win was confirmed in a meeting of Congress that was interrupted by the storming of the Capitol by a violent mob loyal to President Donald Trump. Reps. Tom Tiffany and Scott Fitzgerald, the state’s two newest members of Congress, objected to certifying votes in Arizona and Pennsylvania. Those were the only two states where votes on objection were taken.” [Associated Press, 1/7/21]
A Report From The Congressional Integrity Project Listed Tiffany As A Key “Election Denier And Insurrection Apologist” Behind The January 6th Insurrection And Attempts To Impeach Biden. According to The Guardian, “The attempted US coup of 6 January 2021, never ended, according to a watchdog report, since the same Donald Trump allies behind that insurrection are now leading a sham impeachment effort against Joe Biden. The report, marking three years since a mob of Trump supporters ransacked the US Capitol in a bid to overturn his election defeat, was produced by the Congressional Integrity Project and obtained by the Guardian. It argues that scores of Trump loyalists in the House of Representatives have continued to push the former president’s election lies and are ready to go further in a bid to put him back in the White House. […] The report names other key ‘election deniers and insurrection apologists’ in Congress such as Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, Pete Sessions of Texas, Byron Donalds of Florida, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Matt Gaetz of Florida, Troy Nehls of Texas, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Dan Bishop of North Carolina, Greg Steube of Florida, Tom Tiffany of Wisconsin, Scott Fitzgerald of Wisconsin and Cliff Bentz of Oregon.” [The Guardian, 1/5/24]
Tom Tiffany Said “I Don’t Believe We Should Be Doing Mail-In Voting”
March 12, 2026: Tom Tiffany Said He Did Not “Believe We Should Be Doing Mail-In Voting” And Opposed Counting Ballots That Arrived After Election Day. According to Tom Tiffany’s interview on DrydenWire, “Ben Dryden: We have time for one more question because we have a couple more things to get to real quick. What are your thoughts on mail in voting from Carly? Tom Tiffany: So, 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. If you go back, there was a commission that was formed after hanging chads in Florida. Some people will remember that in the 2000 election. And there was a commission created and President Carter was the lead Democrat on it. And James Baker, a confidant of president, the first President Bush. They were the co-chairs of it. One of the things that came out of that, they said mail in voting should be discouraged because it allows a greater chance for voting improprieties. So they said states should discourage that. Now, many states have encouraged it. And we've seen the results where you get these questions around elections. So I think it would be better if we did not have it. Now we do have it. So let's make sure that there are tight controls around it. So we make sure that it's easy to vote but hard to cheat. I mean, the one thing, the one thing that I really oppose Ben, to this question is states like there's some states that they accept mail in ballots after Election Day. I think anybody that is voting absentee and using mail in voting that those ballots have to be in by the 8 p.m. of Election Day, they should not be counted after the fact. You've got to get your ballot in by Election Day. I really disagree with those states that allow it after both votes to be counted that come in after election Day.” [Tom Tiffany, DrydenWire, 3/12/26] (VIDEO)

March 2026: Tom Tiffany Said “I Don’t Believe We Should Be Doing Mail-In Voting” Despite Records Showing He Voted With An Absentee Ballot 12 Times Since 2016. According to UpNorth News, “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.’” [UpNorth News, 3/12/26]
Tom Tiffany Claimed Mail-In Ballots Increased The Risk Of Fraud And Suggested There Was “Some Rot” In The Election System
December 2020: Tom Tiffany Claimed Mail-In Ballots Were Different From Wisconsin’s Absentee Ballot System And Said They Could Increase The Risk Of Fraud. According to PBS Wisconsin, “The second thing is mail-in ballots, which by the way are different than the absentee system here in Wisconsin. Mail-in ballots, I believe that that needs to be ended also because as President Carter said when he was co-chairman of a commission 15 years ago, it leaves the possibility for fraud to be much more rampant.” [PBS Wisconsin, 12/4/20]
December 2020: Tom Tiffany Discussed Mail-In Ballots Sent To All Voters And Suggested There Was “Some Rot” That Needed To Be “Cleaned Up” With The Election System. According to PBS Wisconsin, “Host: Mail-in ballots, absentee ballots are often mailed in if they are not dropped in drop boxes. Tom Tiffany: Yeah. That’s right. So there’s a difference. I think Wisconsin’s absentee system works because you have to request it. The difference I see is when you mail ballots to everyone. That’s what President Carter and the commission he co-chaired talked about is, it leaves the possibility for fraud to be greater in that situation. There’s a difference. Host: All of this discussion of fraud and irregularities, do you think it does damage to the confidence of the U.S. electoral system? Tom Tiffany: I think possibly it could. But I think it’s also healthy for us to review our institutions. And if there’s one thing that I believe about Donald Trump, ever since he came down that escalator and announced he was going to run five years ago, he has lifted the lid on institutions that we’ve always had great faith in in this country, including like the FBI, the state department. And we’ve found that there’s some rot in there that needs to be cleaned up. And I think that there are some instances where our election system can do better, and I think he’s highlighting that, and I think that’s healthy for our country.” [PBS Wisconsin, 12/4/20]
