Oh, yeah. I mean, if you remember, they tried to... This is like... I mean, this is like stock standard, right? I mean, this is what's happening in Romania with the Georgia skew election in terms of nullifying it. I mean... Whether you remove the ballots, you can't vote for it, or you nullify the election after he wins. I mean, they're both the same thing that you can't run if you're winning.

I hate to say it, but I have slides on all this prepared if you want to see straight from the horse's mouth what that looked like.
