And the fact that we have a kind of gerrymandering contest right now.

Gerrymandering is a great word, actually.

It comes from a congressman named Gerry in the early 19th century who drew a map, an electoral map, which looked like a salamander.

And a gerrymandered map in U.S.

terms is a electoral map that has been altered to favor one political party.

You know, the city of Nashville, instead of having a single Democratic representative, instead of having a sensible constituency around the city that would vote for one member of Congress, has been divided into several constituencies that are designed in such a way that only Republicans win.

And once you have maps that are designed to favor one party or the other, then you begin to get real Democratic decline.

But there are other things happening in the U.S.

too.

So there are fears that ICE, which is the—

paramilitary organization created by the president supposedly to go after immigrants.

What if ICE troops are put on the street on election day?

Would some people be intimidated from voting?

So there are fears that he will do that in some states.

Yes.

Well, this is also very strange.

So, of course, in the U.S., you have voter ID and most people have driver's licenses.

They want to change the law so that you either have to use a passport or a birth certificate.

And most Americans don't have passports.

I think 60 percent don't.
