Re Early voting in FL, NC, IA and OH...

[T J]

Sunday morning ABC...

PRIEBUS: Yes, but what — what you’re not saying — and I know you’re not doing it on purpose — but they are 75,000 votes behind on party registration votes and early vote in Florida today than they were four years ago. So they’re actually — you know, and here’s the thing. They’re behind that — where they were four years ago. We lost Florida by 75,000 votes four years ago. They’re 75,000 votes behind today.

And the same thing in North Carolina. They’re about 100,000 votes behind in North Carolina than where they were four years ago. We went into election day, George, in North Carolina four years ago down by 455,000 votes. We won North Carolina.

So everyone out there needs to understand that the early vote issue can only tell you so much and you’ve got to look beyond the numbers.

Look at Iowa. We’re behind in Iowa today in early vote. No one actually thinks we’re going to lose Iowa. But we’re way ahead of where we were four years ago.

We’re ahead by 70,000 votes in Ohio today. So, you know, when they’re concentrating on Cleveland two days before Tuesday, they’re not expanding the map in Ohio, I can assure you. Their plan — their game plan has to be lock down Cleveland then expand through Ohio. That’s not what they’re doing, George.​
