So I don't want us to conflate too many pieces. I think what you've asked is very important, but we need to separate out the pieces. Gerrymandering is a scourge. It has always been a scourge. You should never allow politicians to pick their voters. We're in Wisconsin. I know I'm saying it out loud to you because you guys know exactly what I'm talking about. It is a scourge that should never be permitted. (44:09–44:17)
