you know, courageous Republican leaders in many of these states that are standing up to forces within their own party that want to close elections to create more ideological purity that might wind up costing them elections.

100%.

I mean, we adopted the secret ballot a century ago to give people privacy over their right to vote.

In many states, however, we force people to register publicly with a political party.

Go into some database.

I can see what party you belong to.

In many states, don't have this system today.

And that's what some of those states are trying to change.

And I agree with you that it's an invasion of privacy, particularly in an era of politics in which one's party affiliation can be used against them.

I think it's a good question.

I think we need to do something on campaign finance.

It's a salient issue for most voters.

They don't like the idea of special interests or wealthy interests having disproportionate say in our political system.

That will likely require a constitutional amendment.

There's something, the other number two issue when you ask people what's wrong with politics today, one's money in politics, the next is

career politicians.

And I think there is something to do with age limits and term limits to make sure that we have a Congress that can reasonably turn over with time and remain both nimble to the issues of the day and representative of people.

Again, those may require amendments.

So those are harder

lifts.
