Kansas Governor Sam Brownback is backing fellow Republican Donald Trump in the presidential race, but Brownback isn’t supporting Trump’s claims of a “rigged” election. Brownback tells reporters that he has faith in the voting system.

“I don’t doubt that there’s problems in some places, but I’ve been on the ballot a lot and I think overall the system operates well,” Brownback says.

Brownback says the biggest issue for him in the presidential race is the future of the U.S. Supreme Court. He wants Trump choosing new justices rather than the Democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.
