I think part of it is people have

about their town and fears that it's just really hard to separate the truth from the noise.

And sometimes the truth is not good either.

And so we're going to have an election cycle where it is... I just wrote a column about this where, you know, I was talking with a political consultant who said, you know, if you are running a governor's race... He was speaking of a specific state, but I think it's broader than that.

And so we're at a moment where there's maybe some bipartisan discussion about whether we make that easier.
