And he was putting forth this hypothetical, like what if enough of those things would change the result of the election?
Then it's not really election day anymore because it's something that happened after the election.
And so I think he was trying to show essentially that this could potentially have a really bad result.
And it isn't the intention of the Constitution to say, you know, you can make up your mind whenever you want, even after Election Day, to not vote even after you mailed in your ballot.
And so it does seem to me like enough of the conservative justices on the majority are going to vote to say you can't count ballots that arrive after Election Day.
But we'll have to see exactly where it lands, as Marcelo said.
I will tell you that my wife, who is very much a Democrat, agrees with you on wanting it to be a national holiday.
I don't know if she would agree with you on the voter ID piece, but I think...
you know, I certainly do.
And I think it is still striking to me when they've done these on the street interviews and stuff where, you know, black people will be like, of course I have an ID.
What do you mean?
Like, it's like, you know, I can find the city hall where I can get my birth certificate.
Like what, what the hell?
Like, this is like basic stuff.
If you can't figure out how to get a state ID, um,
then how do you function in life like you can't like you yeah you need it for so many things just you know opening a bank account like everybody needs to have an id you needed them to buy cigarettes at some point i don't think they've been able to find one example of somebody that said i can't get an id or i don't know how to get like they can't they can't find even one person
But would the Save America Act fix that?
Would the Save America Act have some kind of citizenship check as part of the process?
Mm-hmm.
yeah that you're a citizen yeah okay it gets complicated i guess so and so it's like it's even if the save america act passes there's still this other side to it i would say the same thing about being able to get your birth certificate or being able to get a passport like anybody can do that and most likely you already had to because like they have employment checks
