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.

We are, in fact, abiding by the law, which basically says that once there's a certification, you have five days to ask for a recount.

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.

The fact of the matter is that they are entitled to request a recount. We're entitled to give them a recount.

Once they ask for a recount, we will provide them with a recount.

In Franklin county, where Colombus is located, the head of the Board of Elections is an african-american Democrat.

I am running for Governor of the great state of Ohio and welcome your support.

And we have the most scrutinized election system in the United States, and we have met every test.

And I'm very proud of the 50,000 poll workers and election officials who delivered a free and fair election.
