Dem Rep. Himes: ‘Our Elections Are Secure, Safe, and Fair, and Always Have Been’

EXCERPT:

HIMES: “Yeah, yeah. I mean, a couple of very simple facts up front. Number one, our elections are secure, safe and fair, and always have been. And of course, Donald Trump, since he emerged into the public imagination, has denied that over and over and over again. And every time an election doesn’t go his way, and actually, even when elections do go his way, he claims that they are corrupt. He claims that there are illegal aliens voting in those elections. He’s claiming, as he did in July in his speech to the nation, that foreign powers are interfering in our election. None of that is true. Fact one. Fact number two is that the federal government, Todd Blanche, and president, have absolutely no jurisdiction over our elections. And you don’t have to be a lawyer to know that. You can just go read the Constitution, which gives authority over our elections to the states overseen by Congress.”
