House Speaker Paul Ryan: There's Something 'Really Bizarre' About California's Election System
 [Townhall] House Speaker Paul Ryan questioned California’s ballot-counting process after Democrats were able to flip several GOP-held seats.The state’s election system "defies logic to me," he said during an interview with the Washington Post’s Paul Kane. "We had a lot of wins that night, and three weeks later we lost basically every contested California race. This election system they have, I can’t begin to understand what ballot harvesting is." "We were only down 26 seats the night of the election and three weeks later, we lost basically every California race," he continued. "This election system they have ‐ I can’t begin to understand what ’ballot harvesting’ is." He did not accuse the state of any wrongdoing and his campaign spokesman Jeremy Adler later clarified in a statement to The Hill that "The Speaker did not and does not dispute the [election] results." "I just think it’s weird," he said when pressed by Kane during the event. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-12-01 |
