What can you do as the governor to prevent them from moving forward with this in this insane level of voter suppression?
As part of the pattern, and I definitely want to get to redistricting, part of the pattern here is them also putting in place or trying to put in place more voter restrictions.
And one of the arguments that Kristi Noem recently made about the SAVE Act is that she said they want to have the right people voting.
Now, when she said that, it seemed just kind of a bizarre thing to say.
Now it kind of hits differently.
How do you hear that, knowing what we know now?
You're one of a number of governors who have taken this step.
But you signed an emergency bill into law yesterday, ending your state's local law enforcement's cooperation with ICE.
Obviously, there are a number of reasons to do that.
And we've obviously seen in horror and all watching horror what happened in Minnesota over the past several weeks.
Is any part of that have anything to do with concerns you have about ICE being one of the law enforcement entities that could show up and try to intimidate voters around polling places?
One of the other steps you've taken or tried to take, you're trying to take, I should say, is really pushing forward on redistricting.
It's on everyone's minds.
Maryland's new map has been a bit of an impasse in the state Senate.
Leader Hakeem Jeffries was in Maryland today.
The two of you were meeting with the Senate president, Bill Ferguson.
Jeffries came out of that meeting, expressed confidence about things moving forward.
Bill Ferguson had a bit of a different
take on it.
I'm guessing you're going to say it went well and you have confidence, but share with us a little bit of any progress made or where do things stand at this point in time?
