And with the information we have, it's still largely an unclear picture as to what happened here.

Was there someone acting on my behalf as part of the campaign?

I dug around.

I searched the entire house.

We cannot dig anything up.

I also searched my entire inbox to see if there would be any sort of notification.

Could not dig it up.

That doesn't mean that it didn't happen.

Obviously it happened and obviously it's in my record, which is why I ultimately decided to bow out.

But that doesn't negate the fact that there was no ill intent here.

There was nothing of us trying to subvert the electoral process or any of these laws.

These laws, this discrepancy came to our attention on May 29th.

I wish we had known about this, and I will own – the thing that I will definitely own is the fact that we as a campaign, and I ultimately – it's my name on the hat.

My campaign and myself, I have to own the fact that we didn't catch this earlier.

Yeah, listen, two things.

One, to address what you mentioned earlier about Carlos Jimenez salivating and being able to knock me out of the ballot.

What my attorneys tell me, and again, I'm taking their word at face value, is that the way the law is written, the only people who can knock you out of the ballot is your primary opponents.

So in the general, it can't happen.

So even if I had made it through when this issue had not come up.

If we had this knowledge the entire time, then I could completely agree with that assessment.
