House Speaker Paul Ryan pushed back against Donald Trumps claims that the election is being rigged through a spokesperson on Saturday.
Our democracy relies on confidence in election results, and the speaker is fully confident the states will carry out this election with integrity, Ryans press secretary AshLee Strong said in an email to BuzzFeed News when asked about Trumps claims.
Over the course of the chaotic past week since the explosive tape of Trump bragging about sexual assault was leaked, Trump has grown ever more conspiratorial, saying repeatedly in campaign appearances that the election is being rigged as part of a globalist conspiracy against him aimed at helping Hillary Clinton.

what if it discovered if the Repugs are the ones that are trying to rig it. Ryan may be making this statement because he's afraid they'll be found out.

After your party has done its damnedest since the Shelby County lawsuit and decision to deny the right to vote to citizens, you finally got the candidate who exemplifies your party's governing philosophy. And you have found out that all your efforts to suppress the vote have fizzled. Now you're all about public confidence in the election results. Your boy is going down and might just take your worthless hide with it.
