1
00:00:00,501 --> 00:00:00,634
So why are you

2
00:00:00,701 --> 00:00:02,202
proposing allowing

3
00:00:02,269 --> 00:00:03,136
an early count

4
00:00:03,203 --> 00:00:04,571
of absentee ballots

5
00:00:04,638 --> 00:00:05,339
on the Monday

6
00:00:05,405 --> 00:00:06,907
before a Tuesday election?

7
00:00:06,974 --> 00:00:07,641
Yeah, we just know

8
00:00:07,708 --> 00:00:08,909
from the last few cycles

9
00:00:08,976 --> 00:00:10,644
that Milwaukee has been

10
00:00:10,711 --> 00:00:11,778
the later reporter

11
00:00:11,845 --> 00:00:13,847
amongst the election results

12
00:00:13,914 --> 00:00:15,582
in the state of Wisconsin.

13
00:00:15,649 --> 00:00:18,151
It's led to conspiracies

14
00:00:18,218 --> 00:00:18,852
that there is

15
00:00:18,919 --> 00:00:20,087
late-night ballot dumps

16
00:00:20,153 --> 00:00:21,788
and all kinds of conjecture

17
00:00:21,855 --> 00:00:22,923
that was built from that

18
00:00:22,990 --> 00:00:23,657
and exploded

19
00:00:23,724 --> 00:00:24,224
over the years

20
00:00:24,291 --> 00:00:25,092
every time we have

21
00:00:25,158 --> 00:00:26,894
a statewide election.

22
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,228
So the answer is to do

23
00:00:28,295 --> 00:00:29,563
what 43 other states do

24
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:30,497
and to figure out a way

25
00:00:30,564 --> 00:00:31,098
that we can get

26
00:00:31,164 --> 00:00:32,366
the ballots counted

27
00:00:32,432 --> 00:00:33,500
and people can go to bed

28
00:00:33,567 --> 00:00:34,535
knowing who won the election

29
00:00:34,601 --> 00:00:35,402
on Election Day.

30
00:00:35,469 --> 00:00:36,937
So when President Trump says

31
00:00:37,004 --> 00:00:37,638
he wants to ban

32
00:00:37,704 --> 00:00:39,139
mail-in voting

33
00:00:39,206 --> 00:00:39,840
and go back to

34
00:00:39,907 --> 00:00:41,875
hand-counting ballots

35
00:00:41,942 --> 00:00:43,377
you said in an article

36
00:00:43,443 --> 00:00:44,678
I read, quote

37
00:00:44,745 --> 00:00:46,013
We put out the fire.

38
00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:47,314
He stokes it.

39
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:47,915
What do you mean

40
00:00:47,981 --> 00:00:48,515
by that?

41
00:00:48,582 --> 00:00:49,449
So our bill package

42
00:00:49,516 --> 00:00:50,384
does talk about a lot

43
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:50,984
of the things

44
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:51,451
that President Trump

45
00:00:51,518 --> 00:00:51,919
has brought up

46
00:00:51,985 --> 00:00:53,153
about security

47
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:54,054
knowing who the person is

48
00:00:54,121 --> 00:00:55,389
who's voting

49
00:00:55,455 --> 00:00:56,023
things like that.

50
00:00:56,089 --> 00:00:56,590
But we also

51
00:00:56,657 --> 00:00:57,324
want to know

52
00:00:57,391 --> 00:00:57,824
like I've said

53
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:58,392
a few times

54
00:00:58,458 --> 00:00:58,992
that we want to know

55
00:00:59,059 --> 00:00:59,626
who won the election

56
00:00:59,693 --> 00:01:00,928
on Election Day.

57
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:02,329
Going back to hand counting

58
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:03,630
or not using machines

59
00:01:03,697 --> 00:01:05,332
delays that into perpetuity.

60
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:06,033
So just trying

61
00:01:06,099 --> 00:01:07,534
to set aside

62
00:01:07,601 --> 00:01:08,368
the conjecture that

63
00:01:08,435 --> 00:01:08,869
the machines

64
00:01:08,936 --> 00:01:10,037
are the problem

65
00:01:10,103 --> 00:01:10,938
or that we're having

66
00:01:11,004 --> 00:01:12,005
late-night ballot dumps

67
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:12,573
we can

68
00:01:12,639 --> 00:01:13,240
still do absentee

69
00:01:13,307 --> 00:01:13,941
voting by mail

70
00:01:14,007 --> 00:01:15,342
and Wisconsin and get

71
00:01:15,409 --> 00:01:15,943
the job done on

72
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:17,678
Election Day.
