Look, if states are going to administer federal elections, which they do, and I hope they always will, they should meet. They must meet certain baseline standards for verifying voter eligibility, including cooperation with federal data systems where appropriate.

And even if it were rare today, a point that I'm not willing to concede, we have no guarantee that it would remain rare for very long. (35:30–35:43)
