You know, you got a country, you have its elections, Its government runs its elections. We are fortunate at this moment that state and local governments operate our elections. And they can be messy institutions. Boy, The New York City Board of Elections is a messy institution for reasons more related to, like, machine hackery than to fascism. But I'm grateful that they, and not the federal government will be running our election. And that that's true around the country, and that Those folks, in many cases, you know, just take it seriously. (08:51–09:01)
