Will Baude

Yes.

I mean, yeah, I'm just saying it's complicated.

Like, you know, there is a case that I taught in election law where a year into the term of the mayor of Miami, the Florida courts decide that actually there was rampant absentee ballot fraud in that election, throw out one entire precinct's worth of votes and decide that the other guy should have won and like oust the mayor from office.

and put the other person in.

That's awkward.

That's awkward and happened like the year before Bush versus Gore and it might have actually been sort of in the background of the courts thinking about what happened if you left this to the courts.

It was just in the state courts though?

Yeah, the state courts.

Did it go to the Supreme Court like on surgery?

I don't think anybody had invented the idea of a federal interest in stopping that stuff.

Okay.

Yeah.

So it's just complicated.

So you can see why you want to get it dealt with in the beginning.

That's all I want to say.

So in that sense, it's straightforward, right?

Okay.

Yeah.

Now, two questions.

One is, and the three questions.
