And it should be that we're bragging about a whole bunch of states competing for that, but when they take away voting rights, it makes it harder and harder and harder. But I'm telling you, In my state, we expanded voting rights. We already did that. By state law. We made it easier for people to vote. We made it easier for you to vote by mail. You can now check a box when you vote and say, I want to vote by mail every time. (29:09–29:14)
