It's not an opinion, it's a statement. Therein lies the rub.

There is no reasonable interpretation of "There is NO WAY (ZERO!)" to mean "there may possibly be".

e: The President just helpfully tweeted out in support of my argument:

"They are saying my statement on Mail-In Ballots, which will lead to massive corruption and fraud, is incorrect"

There is evidence that mail in ballots causes more problems though. However to find unbiased information about it you have to search for articles from a time before it became political.

> Yet votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show. Election officials reject almost 2 percent of ballots cast by mail, double the rate for in-person voting.

To be clear, it's a prediction of the future. Let's not pretend that predictions of the future are statements of fact.
Next, Twitter will start fact checking every Bigfoot and UFO tweet.
