Ryan 'confident' election will be carried out fairly

Source: MSN/The Hill

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Ohio) on Saturday dismissed Donald Trump's repeated claims that the November election will be rigged.

"Our democracy relies on confidence in election results, and the speaker is fully confident the states will carry out this election with integrity," Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong told BuzzFeed.

Trump renewed his claims of a rigged election during two campaign events and a series of tweets on Saturday.

Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), a top Trump surrogate, also reiterated the claim, telling a crowd at a campaign rally in New Hampshire, "they are attempting to rig this election."

The "rigging" that is going on are efforts to prevent people from voting in the first place, which is occurring in plain sight and often at the behest of Republicans.

with Republican leaning owners of those private machines. Nor any kind of larger overall inquiry in to voter suppression.

Ryan wants to be able to still cheat, not to help Trump, but to save the House and Senate for Republicans down ticket.

After all, all that vote rigging and multiple voting is going on in their states.....

AND THEY NEVER CATCH AND PROSECUTE ANY OF THE VOTE FELONS.

See, that means they are in our pockets, and have betrayed their party.

Its time to call them on it after the election....

I guess Eddie Munster Ryan is seeing that many states including Florida can't stop the voter suppression that has been used in the past by Republicons. Thanks to Federal Judges who know and obey the voter's rights. So, I'm hoping ALL Dems show up at the polls November 8 and vote the Republicons out of office and into retirement. C'mon folks let's hand the Republicons their worst election results ever by getting the Senate and the US House along with state houses...
