And so I think if there was a different model considered, that's something that we would potentially lose. In a lot of other states or agencies, decisions about elections are made unilaterally by a single individual making those decisions. In this case, you've got to get six hyper partisan individuals appointed by legislative leadership to agree, at least four of them to agree in order to implement something. I think that the commission functions as its designed in law. So I guess all I can really say is that, you know, if there's a desire to see a different structure in place, it will require a law change. (45:35–45:46)

CLAIM
