He just said, you know, we're just trying to keep up with modern times.

And I have to say, when it comes to special elections, it's another factor in midterm elections that when you look at them in aggregate and you shouldn't look at special elections on their own to think that that's an indicator of what happens in midterms.

But when you take them all together, it has been eye-popping.

Democrats have really swept so many of these special elections.

They did really well in those off-year elections.

And when it comes to these congressional races that have been special elections, Democrats have won them by double digits.

They just won a Texas state Senate seat that Trump had won by 17 points.

And the Democratic candidate won it by 14.

And I think that special elections are a huge indicator of activism and which side has enthusiasm.

And that is really where the secret sauce, the juice is in a midterm election, getting your base out, getting enough people out because the turnout in special elections is always lower than it is in presidential years.

Miles, as my grandfather used to say, now you speak my language.

I love what you did there in putting the bucket of a theme to those three races and they're really, really good ones to look at to understand what's happened with Latinos in this country and how far they've moved away from Trump because in those off-year elections, boy, Democrats won them by two to one margins.

The FBI has until Tuesday to publish a redacted copy of the affidavit it used to seize election material from Fulton County's elections office.

The Saturday order comes after more than 650 boxes of election material were taken on January 28th with little public explanation.

Fulton County is home to Atlanta and has been ground zero for conspiracies about President Trump's 2020 election defeat.

There's no evidence of widespread fraud in elections, including the 2020 race, which concluded more than five years ago.
