Miss. Gov. Agrees ‘The Election Is Rigged’: ‘Any Republican Has To Have An Overwhelming Majority’

By Miranda Blue | October 25, 2016 2:21 pm

Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said yesterday that he agrees with Donald Trump that the “election is rigged,” claiming that any Republican “has to have an overwhelming majority of the vote” in order to win.

Radio host Paul Gallo asked Bryant about Trump’s claims, saying that polls are “one way it’s rigged.”

Trump is right, Bryant responded: “The election is rigged. Any Republican has to have an overwhelming majority of the vote. And, of course, as it has been designed as we look at the states and where the more liberal voting populations may be, in the cities and New York and California and some of the other areas, all you have to do is win those, particularly larger states, and you can forget about flyover country. That doesn’t seem fair to me at all.”

How dare we allocate electoral college votes proportionally! "Flyover country" should get special rights!

because big cities have a lot of voters in them and they tend to be liberal?

more people could retire early and move to the country. And oh yes - funded community health clinics in rural areas.
