It's too high a bar. It's got to start somewhere. I'm proud that Colorado did a national model. And what was a very painful fact of life now is when The Supreme Court said we're not going to mandate this rule, no gerrymandering. they actually pointed to Colorado and said, maybe states can do this on their own. There is a problem you're pointing to, which is, you might call it a collective action problem. (05:07–05:12)
