You show your ID to do... If you show your ID even at mid-40s to get into a bar, you can probably show it to vote.
But at the same time, I don't think that explains what we saw in California.
I think it's a system that is much too slow.
We have different tranches of ballots that are kind of differently and where...
younger people that might be more progressive tend to vote later and or by mail and again it's not like this happened in alabama or something the the prior on pratt advancing probably would be pretty low potentially and i wish that people were
We're less partisan.
I have been critical on the newsletter, Silver Bulletin, about Graham Plattner, for example, because I think he's somebody who has not proven a reliable figure, so to speak.
And I was critical of Joe Biden.
And I'm not even registered as a Democrat, by the way, despite what people assume.
But if you're going to have five different ways to vote, and I say this as someone with experience, like actually trying to build...
election night models and being on national tv on election nights these blue shifts or red shifts are somewhat predictable and are going to be an inevitable consequence of of having different mechanisms to vote where you have like different cues in the line right if you're at msg and you have like a vip line the cohort that arrives to the vip line is going to be different than the one that arrives through like the main gates on on seventh avenue or whatever and i think the system should be simplified by the way also things like
Ranked choice voting, which I, again, as an election wonk, I support giving voters more choice.
You shouldn't need like Maine or New York City take an extra two weeks to count ranked choice voting where I could clod code a ranked choice voting algorithm that would resolve itself in seven minutes, even with
100 million votes in Maine or half a million or whatever it was in the primary.
Yes.
Look, the American election system is very decentralized.
Which, you know, as kind of like an old school liberal in some ways, who I'm kind of against centralized power, I think is quite brilliant in some respects.
But yeah, the scale, there is certainly, there are certainly cases of fraud.
When Al Franken won, what was it, 2006, right?
That came down to like a recount of like 200 votes.
