You know, we vote on Tuesday.
Depending on which state you live in, it can be very difficult to register to vote.
It is getting increasingly more difficult to actually cast your vote, even if you're registered to vote.
You have to show particular kinds of ID.
You have to make it to the polling place on a workday.
In time, if you're dropping off your ballot, you can be in a place like Houston County, where you have to drive for miles to that one drop-off place.
where another county that's geographically much smaller may have one drop-off place for a couple of thousand people.
Young people in the United States don't vote.
Statistically, we know this.
Most Americans probably, if you ask them, will say, oh, it's because they're not interested.
Well, no.
Actually, it's because for most of them, it's very difficult to register to vote.
It's very difficult to get to a polling place because there's a concerted policy against having polling places on college campuses or near college campuses, which tend to be quite isolated.
Young people are the people who are least likely to be able to take time off on a Tuesday.
I can go on and on, but let me just mention one thing.
A law recently passed in the state of Georgia that makes it illegal
to give water or food to people waiting in line to vote.
This is the extent... So illegal?
Illegal.
Illegal.
