Yeah.

I think about this all the time because in other countries you don't have to register to vote because the government already knows.

Right.

Yeah.

And Hansi, I got to say, when I saw like a lot, I think all three of us watched the signing of that executive order.

I was very surprised at first to see Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick there.

And I was like, why?

Why is Lutnick there?

And then it was very quickly, very clear what was going on.

One of the big parts of this order that stood out to me was that the role of the Postal Service would effectively grow under this.

This order would create a big role for that agency there.

in basically administering a big part of national elections.

I wonder what you made of this, though, and do you have a sense of how this would actually work?

I mean, like, just practically speaking, does this agency have the bandwidth to take on a huge project like this?

I do want to make sure we revisit something you said, Miles, about how, you know, sort of irrespective of what the courts do, the message that the president is sending with this executive order is something that could affect how voters view upcoming elections, including these midterms that we have coming up.

And I wonder from both of you what you make of what the overlying goal is here, sort of regardless of what ends up happening with the legal challenges.

All right, let's leave it there for today.

And here's something we're watching for tomorrow.

President Trump has announced that Pam Bondi is out as attorney general.

We will talk about all that tomorrow.
