Look, the attorney general's not a serious person. And then I think we saw through this and they said the quiet part out loud. Earlier this week, I received a letter from the attorney general that basically said, we'll take the boot off your state, the neck of your state, if you give us your voter rolls. Apparently, in Georgia, they tried a different tactic to get those voter rolls, and that's what we expect. So I understand my job is to. I need to. (08:09–08:20)
