 I am running for Governor of the great state of Ohio and welcome your support. |
| We have a system that allows us to manage a free and fair election, free of fraud, free of intimidation, and that's what we delivered on election day, and we're very very proud of it. |
| They know, the courts know, the people know that they have no way of changing the results as it affects them. |
| We have 45,000 square miles of geography in Ohio. |
| And I'm very proud of the 50,000 poll workers and election officials who delivered a free and fair election. |
| Job creation requires a business friendly environment with a tax structure that is not punitive and a state government designed for efficient use of fewer tax dollars. |
| I have nothing to do with counting the votes. |
| The fact of the matter is that they are entitled to request a recount. We're entitled to give them a recount. |
| And we have the most scrutinized election system in the United States, and we have met every test. |
| In order to spur economic growth we need to put the brakes on out of control spending, lower Ohioans tax burden and create a most efficient and effective government. |
| They reality is that we have 70% of our voters use a punch card system that I tried to change and that bipartisan resistance in the legislature stopped. |
| You know, Jesse Jackson is just trying to stir up a hornet's nest. |
| Once they ask for a recount, we will provide them with a recount. |
| The reason it takes us from November the second to December the sixth to certify is because we have a very tedious, very comprehensive process where we audit by precinct, across the state, every vote that was cast to make sure that every vote that was legally cast is counted. |
| I would anticipate that the Electoral College will be held on the 13th of December, and our 20 electorate votes will go to the certified winner. |
