And my point is, if other states are doing this, and we're seeing, as you say, a number of states looking at it, most recently North Carolina, we gotta be ready to do our part. Because If you end up with only one party doing mid cycle redistricting and the other party doesn't, that's actually a threat to democracy. By being willing to do our part, we create more likelihood that maybe we will see this trend halt somewhere as opposed to go to where every single state does this. (03:42–03:51)
