00:00.000 --> 00:22.920
The

00:22.920 --> 00:27.720
United States Supreme Court throws a curveball into absentee voting, letting the Trump administration

00:27.720 --> 00:32.380
move forward with more restrictive rules, but Wisconsin election officials say were a long

00:32.380 --> 00:35.440
ways from November and there will be more lawsuits.

00:35.440 --> 00:43.000
This is Inside Wisconsin Politics.

00:43.000 --> 00:47.200
I'm Zach Schultz, filling in for Sean Johnson, here with my colleagues Anya Van Wegden-Dank

00:47.200 --> 00:48.880
and Rich Kramer in Eau Claire.

00:48.880 --> 00:51.840
Hello to both of you.

00:51.840 --> 00:56.040
On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court's shadow docket struck again, releasing an unsigned

00:56.040 --> 00:59.880
opinion that allows the Trump administration to go forward with orders for the postal

00:59.880 --> 01:05.000
service to create rules restricting who can send an absentee ballot through the mail.

01:05.000 --> 01:09.000
Anya, this started as an executive order last spring, Wisconsin was one of the states that

01:09.000 --> 01:10.440
sued to stop it.

01:10.440 --> 01:11.440
So where are we now?

01:11.440 --> 01:13.400
I mean, we're still in the court.

01:13.400 --> 01:18.480
So this was the court did not rule on sort of the merits of the executive order themselves.

01:18.480 --> 01:23.280
They ruled on the timing of the lawsuit that Wisconsin and other states filed, essentially

01:23.280 --> 01:27.240
saying that because the postal service rule has not yet been put in place, they can't

01:27.240 --> 01:28.760
argue that they have been harmed.

01:28.760 --> 01:33.400
Meanwhile, the Postal Service did author and publish the rule that would go into effect

01:33.400 --> 01:35.240
as soon as the order is cleared.

01:35.240 --> 01:38.840
And so now things go back to a lower court, then they will go back to the Supreme Court,

01:38.840 --> 01:44.680
which will eventually we assume kind of weigh in on whether the executive branch, the president,

01:44.680 --> 01:49.400
is allowed to make such a kind of sweeping change to state elections, which are according

01:49.400 --> 01:53.080
to the Constitution sort of supposed to be decided by the states.

01:53.080 --> 01:57.120
So nothing happening at this exact moment, but everyone should be a little bit worried

01:57.120 --> 01:58.120
and aware of what's going on.

01:58.120 --> 02:00.320
Yeah, I mean, we're 10 weeks out from the midterm elections.

02:00.320 --> 02:04.200
And so one of the things that we're hearing from election administrators is sort of,

02:04.200 --> 02:06.080
well, what are we supposed to be doing in the meantime?

02:06.080 --> 02:10.280
They are in the process of printing out these ballots, ballots that go to overseas and military

02:10.280 --> 02:13.960
voters need to be sent out 45 days in advance of the election.

02:13.960 --> 02:16.000
So that's like, I think September 19th.

02:16.000 --> 02:19.920
So all this stuff needs to be happening, this nitty gritty administrative stuff.

02:19.920 --> 02:23.600
And meanwhile, they're trying to figure out just like how the rules function.

02:23.600 --> 02:28.600
Rich, Republicans have an interesting relationship with absentee balloting, going back years

02:28.600 --> 02:33.280
where they've talked about restricting it, but they also love to use it, including Republican

02:33.280 --> 02:36.400
nominee Tom Tiffany.

02:36.400 --> 02:41.600
And President Donald Trump, I believe it was reported used it this year as well.

02:41.600 --> 02:44.280
So it's an interesting paradox.

02:44.280 --> 02:50.480
So going back to 2020, President Donald Trump has made these false claims about widespread

02:50.480 --> 02:55.320
voter fraud that resulted in a stolen election.

02:55.320 --> 03:01.880
But part of that, of course, was his railing against mail-in absentee voting.

03:01.880 --> 03:07.360
And he said it's just a prime opportunity for fraud to happen.

03:07.360 --> 03:10.960
So many of his supporters have bought into that.

03:10.960 --> 03:16.920
And here in Wisconsin, we've got this paradox where you've got the state party chair, Brian

03:16.920 --> 03:23.760
Schimming, the GOP party chair, who he said, well, I was one of the first state party

03:23.760 --> 03:30.280
chairs in the country to advocate for absentee voting and early voting as a way to kind of

03:30.280 --> 03:35.320
match Democrats who have been really successful with that in terms of getting out the vote

03:35.320 --> 03:39.020
early ahead of election day, less work on election day.

03:39.020 --> 03:43.940
At the same time, you've got people within the party that want to impeach the state's

03:43.940 --> 03:47.340
election, top election official, Megan Wolf.

03:47.340 --> 03:52.300
They've went after Republican speaker, outgoing Republican speaker of the Assembly, Robin

03:52.300 --> 03:56.060
Voss, for not trying to de-certify the election, et cetera.

03:56.060 --> 04:03.340
So it's really kind of a paradox between those two worlds in the Wisconsin GOP.

04:03.340 --> 04:06.380
So Anya, what are clerks doing right now?

04:06.380 --> 04:08.980
I guess in Wisconsin history, we've had a lot of lawsuits that happen.

04:08.980 --> 04:12.300
Right before an election, but usually those involve state law.

04:12.300 --> 04:16.380
This would be seemingly a much larger change than one that they really wouldn't have any

04:16.380 --> 04:17.380
impact on.

04:17.380 --> 04:18.380
Yeah.

04:18.380 --> 04:22.620
Well, Wisconsin also is unique because it has sort of the most de-federated election administration

04:22.620 --> 04:23.700
system in the country.

04:23.700 --> 04:29.100
So a lot of other places, you know, it's county clerks who run who administer elections.

04:29.100 --> 04:35.020
Here it is local clerks, and I'm blanking on the exact number, but it is close to 200.

04:35.020 --> 04:38.780
And so they are all, again, doing this kind of nitty-gritty work of printing out the

04:38.780 --> 04:42.820
ballots and checking their lists, and there's all of this work that goes on kind of behind

04:42.820 --> 04:44.620
the scenes to prepare for this.

04:44.620 --> 04:48.260
Every clerk I've spoken to says that, like, as soon as one election ends, the next one

04:48.260 --> 04:49.780
begins for them in terms of their work.

04:49.780 --> 04:51.140
And so the primary just ended.

04:51.140 --> 04:52.980
They're all getting ready for the general.

04:52.980 --> 04:56.380
And so as these rules kind of shift, and as they're waiting, again, for the back and

04:56.380 --> 05:02.420
forth from the courts, it really kind of raises the question of how do they follow the rules

05:02.460 --> 05:06.180
if they don't yet know what the rules are, and especially for something like this, with

05:06.180 --> 05:11.520
the postal service being in charge of potentially determining who is allowed to receive a mailing

05:11.520 --> 05:16.620
ballot and who is not, they could accidentally violate that rule if they're not very, very

05:16.620 --> 05:17.620
careful.

05:17.620 --> 05:20.900
And so they're kind of waiting to see, so we are just kind of in this wait and see moment

05:20.900 --> 05:25.060
when, again, they actually need to be kind of hurrying up just to get stuff like formatted

05:25.060 --> 05:26.060
for the printer.

05:26.060 --> 05:30.340
Again, this very administrative details that really kind of determines how we all vote.

05:30.820 --> 05:35.500
And there have been concerns about how the postal service will handle absentee ballots,

05:35.500 --> 05:39.940
especially under the Trump administration, both two separate Trump administrations.

05:39.940 --> 05:44.100
There have been questions and conspiracies about whether the postal service will lose

05:44.100 --> 05:47.340
the ballots, whether they'll be processing them on time, are there enough postal workers

05:47.340 --> 05:49.540
to handle all of these routes?

05:49.540 --> 05:54.140
And so I know that the parties in the past have told their voters, hey, if you're worried,

05:54.140 --> 05:58.780
make sure you deliver it in person, Rich, have we seen any of these groups, whether the Democrats

05:58.820 --> 06:02.940
or Republicans, trying to make sure that their voters are aware, even if these don't

06:02.940 --> 06:07.020
happen, like, hey, maybe it's safest to hand deliver these, or maybe you do absentee in

06:07.020 --> 06:08.540
person, if you can.

06:08.540 --> 06:09.540
Yeah.

06:09.540 --> 06:16.580
And also some of the clerks, so the Wisconsin Elections Commission surveyed local clerks

06:16.580 --> 06:19.980
this year, I believe, anyway, the results came out this year.

06:19.980 --> 06:25.980
And a lot of them, the majority of them did mention there has been longer than expected

06:25.980 --> 06:28.260
delays with regard to absentee voting.

06:28.260 --> 06:37.180
This was in the April Supreme Court election, but so some of them in the summary of the survey

06:37.180 --> 06:43.060
responses from those clerks have said that people are just saying, well, I won't even

06:43.060 --> 06:44.380
try to absentee vote.

06:44.380 --> 06:46.860
I'll go a different route.

06:46.860 --> 06:52.660
And so some of the clerks were also advising that they consider in-person absentee voting

06:52.660 --> 06:56.700
or other forms, which is really something.

06:56.700 --> 07:02.620
And I got a chance to ask Republican Congressman and candidate for Governor Tom Tiffany about

07:02.620 --> 07:07.900
this specific executive order from the president and what he thought about it.

07:07.900 --> 07:14.700
He deflected and kind of went along the lines of saying, most clerks do a great job, but

07:14.700 --> 07:21.540
he said some without naming them have gone beyond what the color of the law dictates.

07:21.540 --> 07:27.180
So without naming them, we can assume that it might be Dane County and Milwaukee County

07:27.180 --> 07:32.620
that he has an issue with because we've heard that from other Republicans.

07:32.620 --> 07:40.420
So it's just a really interesting situation, and we're right on the cusp of this election,

07:40.420 --> 07:44.860
so this uncertainty definitely has got a lot of eyebrows raised.

07:44.860 --> 07:48.420
So this has only happened to the last, obviously, day or so.

07:48.420 --> 07:51.740
How much can this change the conversation in the gubernatorial election?

07:51.740 --> 07:54.580
Because for the past few weeks, since the candidates have been set, it's been about

07:54.580 --> 07:55.580
data centers.

07:55.580 --> 08:00.700
And that's been the driving force of Tiffany attacking David Crowley and Crowley trying

08:00.700 --> 08:03.660
to defend and put it back in his candidacy.

08:03.660 --> 08:08.340
But could this change the topic and bring up those connections Tom Tiffany has to Donald

08:08.340 --> 08:09.340
Trump?

08:09.340 --> 08:13.620
Or the fact that these almost all come out of election conspiracies from 2020, can this

08:13.620 --> 08:17.300
be an opening to change the narrative of what people are talking about?

08:17.300 --> 08:21.580
To a richest point, I think one of the consequences of something like this isn't just

08:21.580 --> 08:25.780
that it's confusing for election officials, but that it can kind of sow confusion and

08:25.780 --> 08:27.180
doubt among voters.

08:27.180 --> 08:31.980
And so for voters who are kind of already concerned about American democracy, who do

08:31.980 --> 08:35.780
tend to skew Democratic, this is kind of part of that pattern.

08:35.780 --> 08:41.980
For voters who maybe have questions about the 2020 election, or are Trump supporters much

08:41.980 --> 08:47.260
like Tom Tiffany, who was somebody who voted to de-certify 2020 election results in certain

08:47.260 --> 08:52.660
other states, this is just kind of an example of the chaos that they say is just kind of

08:52.660 --> 08:54.140
baked into the system.

08:54.140 --> 08:57.980
And so it kind of gives them an opportunity if things don't necessarily go their way in

08:57.980 --> 09:02.820
November to point to the shifting rules, the back and forth, the courts, the judges as

09:02.820 --> 09:04.540
a reason for that.

09:04.540 --> 09:09.260
And so at the very least, even if it does kind of resolve in a way that allows administrators

09:09.260 --> 09:15.900
to do their job sort of without a hitch, it still creates this sense of chaos in the kind

09:15.940 --> 09:18.380
of basis of our democracy, which is voting.

09:18.380 --> 09:19.380
Yeah.

09:19.380 --> 09:23.380
So Rich, do you think Republicans want to change the conversation here, or is this particularly

09:23.380 --> 09:26.860
the Democrats would love to be able to pin this back, even if it causes confusion and

09:26.860 --> 09:30.020
say this is what you get with Tom Tiffany and Donald Trump?

09:30.020 --> 09:35.780
Yeah, it seems like Democrats are much more eager to talk about this sort of thing than

09:35.780 --> 09:37.460
Republicans.

09:37.460 --> 09:42.140
When Tom Tiffany has been asked about his 2020 votes and his signing on to a Texas lawsuit

09:42.140 --> 09:47.700
that year, that would have tossed out Wisconsin's votes in the presidential election.

09:47.700 --> 09:48.700
He just differs.

09:48.700 --> 09:52.180
Like he'll quickly say Joe Biden is president and then he moves on.

09:52.180 --> 09:59.220
So based on that and also based on some Republican commentary I've seen from people in Wisconsin,

09:59.220 --> 10:03.660
they definitely don't want Tom Tiffany talking about this.

10:03.660 --> 10:09.100
They don't necessarily want him talking about issues that President Trump is pushing that

10:09.100 --> 10:11.460
are unpopular.

10:11.460 --> 10:16.300
But you can rest assured that Democrats are very excited to talk about this development

10:16.300 --> 10:21.380
from the Supreme Court, the president's attempts, his plans, et cetera, because we got a press

10:21.380 --> 10:23.740
release first thing this morning about it.

10:23.740 --> 10:28.100
So another topic that could come up in the governor's race that we're paying attention

10:28.100 --> 10:32.180
to, Governor Evers' Commutation Advisory Board met for the first time last week to

10:32.180 --> 10:36.620
hear a dozen, from a dozen inmates who've applied to have their sentences reduced.

10:37.140 --> 10:42.660
What do we know about this board and then how will that filter out into Tom Tiffany versus

10:42.660 --> 10:43.660
David Crowley?

10:43.660 --> 10:44.900
Why would it have anything to do with them?

10:44.900 --> 10:49.380
Yeah, so it's the first time that this board has met since 1995 that was under Republican

10:49.380 --> 10:52.620
governor Tommy Thompson.

10:52.620 --> 10:58.340
And so this has been sort of a priority of Governor Evers' to make some changes to criminal

10:58.340 --> 10:59.620
justice in Wisconsin.

10:59.620 --> 11:04.580
He has not delivered on many of those, but this was kind of one of his final, you know,

11:04.700 --> 11:09.780
Wisconsin office is to potentially reduce a sentence of grant commutations to some

11:09.780 --> 11:11.060
incarcerated people.

11:11.060 --> 11:16.500
And so this is a big deal in part because crime is just always an issue in any election.

11:16.500 --> 11:20.540
I mean, we've seen it even with Supreme Court races where they don't really have any, you

11:20.540 --> 11:24.820
know, role in fighting crime, but crime is just something that motivates voters.

11:24.820 --> 11:30.020
And so this issue of potentially, you know, lessening the sentence of people, some of

11:30.020 --> 11:34.380
whom were convicted for nonviolent crimes, some of whom were convicted for violent crimes.

11:34.380 --> 11:39.540
According to a series of kind of criteria, including they've served a majority of their

11:39.540 --> 11:40.540
sentence.

11:40.540 --> 11:44.580
They've proven that they've sort of rehabilitated in certain ways, but all of that can be the

11:44.580 --> 11:49.500
type of thing that Republicans in particular who like to say Democrats are kind of easy

11:49.500 --> 11:52.060
on crime can really seize upon.

11:52.060 --> 11:53.300
And you know, I'm from Massachusetts.

11:53.300 --> 11:58.460
And so I grew up learning about sort of the Willie Horton case, which was a person who was

11:58.460 --> 12:01.820
released from prison, went on to commit another very violent crime.

12:01.820 --> 12:05.340
And then this swung the governor's election in a little bit before my time.

12:05.340 --> 12:07.140
But I grew up learning about this.

12:07.140 --> 12:10.020
And that is the kind of thing that can really sink elections.

12:10.020 --> 12:14.940
And so I think as this is going forward, you know, it is popular among voters of many

12:14.940 --> 12:18.380
different stripes to do some sort of criminal justice reform.

12:18.380 --> 12:22.940
But when you kind of look at what that actually looks like, it can be a bit of a tightrope

12:22.940 --> 12:24.500
walk for politicians.

12:24.500 --> 12:28.100
It's interesting you bring up Willie Horton because that came out in the Democratic primary

12:28.100 --> 12:29.100
in 1988.

12:29.100 --> 12:31.740
It was Al Gore versus Dukakis.

12:31.740 --> 12:35.620
And then it ended up playing a major role in the presidential campaign in 1988, where

12:35.620 --> 12:41.540
it was Lee Atwater, who was one of the first negative ad gurus out there, ran it against

12:41.540 --> 12:42.540
Dukakis.

12:42.540 --> 12:45.740
And it was considered one of the things that showed weakness in him and why he went from

12:45.740 --> 12:49.140
high approval ratings to losing that election in 1988.

12:49.140 --> 12:52.940
And Rich, obviously this is something that Republicans have a history of looking at his

12:52.940 --> 12:56.380
crime in Milwaukee and especially people of color.

12:56.380 --> 12:59.220
We've already started to see some of those connections they're trying to draw between

12:59.220 --> 13:02.900
David Crawley and any bad thing that happens in Milwaukee County.

13:02.900 --> 13:05.780
It's a little bit of like throwing spaghetti at the wall, see what sticks right now.

13:05.780 --> 13:09.060
But this is definitely something they will use against him, even if it's the weakest

13:09.060 --> 13:10.060
of links.

13:10.060 --> 13:12.180
Yeah, that's right.

13:12.180 --> 13:15.540
This is something that is proven to be able to stick in the past.

13:15.540 --> 13:21.060
I mean, I think back to 2022, the U.S. Senate race between Republican incumbent and now

13:21.060 --> 13:26.180
Senator Ron Johnson and former Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes.

13:26.180 --> 13:32.620
That race, the Republicans supporting Johnson and Johnson himself just blanketed the Wisconsin

13:32.620 --> 13:39.260
airwaves with ads about how Barnes was, you know, about defunding the police or he was

13:39.260 --> 13:42.260
anti-ice and he was weak on crime.

13:42.260 --> 13:48.780
I mean, these sort of things, again, a U.S. Senator doesn't have a ton to do directly

13:48.780 --> 13:54.700
with crime fighting, but these are the kind of topics that stir up people's emotions.

13:54.700 --> 13:58.940
Also back in 2022, the Marquette University Law School did a survey that I found really

13:58.940 --> 14:00.140
interesting.

14:00.140 --> 14:07.860
It showed that, you know, 77% of respondents said they feel safe in their daily activities,

14:07.860 --> 14:15.380
but 85% reported being either somewhat concerned or very concerned about increasing crimes.

14:15.380 --> 14:21.580
So that kind of shows how the emotions can get in the way of numbers on paper.

14:21.580 --> 14:25.700
And Anya, it's interesting, the crime statistics came out for Wisconsin showing a decrease,

14:25.700 --> 14:29.900
as we've seen nationally, including in Milwaukee, but they're still going to be allegations.

14:29.900 --> 14:34.220
We saw it with videos of incidents at the state fair and all of a sudden the connection

14:34.220 --> 14:37.860
we saw was Republicans saying, this is David Crowley's Wisconsin.

14:37.860 --> 14:41.140
And I didn't know that the Milwaukee County exec was in charge of the state fair and like

14:41.140 --> 14:44.540
making sure everyone stayed in line there, but this will keep coming up, right?

14:44.540 --> 14:45.540
Yeah.

14:45.540 --> 14:49.620
I mean, as Rich said, statistics and people's feelings kind of have almost nothing to do

14:49.620 --> 14:50.620
with one another.

14:50.620 --> 14:54.700
In fact, there's been research that shows that as crime rates have steadily gone down

14:54.700 --> 15:01.500
minus the COVID spike, you know, from the 90s, coverage of crime has gone up in local media.

15:01.500 --> 15:05.100
And so it gives the impression to a lot of people, you know, I talk to people from outside

15:05.100 --> 15:10.060
of Milwaukee who are convinced that it's kind of on fire just 100% of the time.

15:10.060 --> 15:13.740
And so if you feel that way, it kind of doesn't matter what the statistics say.

15:13.740 --> 15:17.860
And you can really leverage that concern, especially for somebody like David Crowley,

15:17.860 --> 15:22.740
who is so Milwaukee, right, that he is of Milwaukee, he is the county executive, the

15:22.740 --> 15:27.980
Tom Tiffany campaign will try to tie him to every single problem that Milwaukee has,

15:27.980 --> 15:31.300
including crime rates that are higher than elsewhere in the state because that is just

15:31.300 --> 15:33.940
kind of the nature of urban centers.

15:33.940 --> 15:37.780
So one last area I want to talk about today and talking about changing the topic in the

15:37.780 --> 15:38.780
governor's race.

15:38.780 --> 15:42.860
If we ever get away from data centers being this primary driver, there is the obvious

15:42.860 --> 15:48.020
tariffs coming in, and we have a couple different aspects of one is Trump is escalating

15:48.020 --> 15:50.220
a new trade war with Canada.

15:50.220 --> 15:54.260
And we're also seeing questions about whether he would allow imported beef coming in from

15:54.260 --> 15:57.980
South America to come into the market and reducing tariffs there.

15:57.980 --> 16:01.860
And rich tariffs have an interesting, another interesting aspect of Republicans of when

16:01.860 --> 16:05.820
Trump imposes them that they don't change the cost according to Republicans, but when

16:05.820 --> 16:08.660
he lowers them, it's supposed to lower the cost of beef coming in.

16:08.780 --> 16:14.220
What's been the reaction to some of these different tariff war battles going on?

16:14.220 --> 16:19.060
So again, this is something that I would imagine Republicans aren't excited to talk about,

16:19.060 --> 16:25.340
but Tom Tiffany has in the past, he's talked about how the president is doing these things,

16:25.340 --> 16:29.660
these tariffs, in order to re-shore manufacturing in Wisconsin.

16:29.660 --> 16:32.620
He said the media doesn't talk about the success stories.

16:32.620 --> 16:40.620
He mentioned something about Harley-Davidson plant, something happening with that in Tomahawk.

16:40.620 --> 16:43.980
So they don't want to talk about the downsides of that.

16:43.980 --> 16:49.100
I did see something, I honestly wasn't able to go through the whole article, but that

16:49.100 --> 16:53.420
Tom Tiffany might have been creating some distance between the president on this latest batch

16:53.420 --> 16:58.820
with regard to Canada, but again, I'm not as super well versed on that.

16:58.820 --> 17:05.060
It's definitely a topic, though, with affordability being top concern among voters in general,

17:05.060 --> 17:07.340
and Democrats are going to try to make hay with it.

17:07.340 --> 17:11.620
And Anya, in our last minute here, talking about these tariff issues, Democrats were

17:11.620 --> 17:16.540
quick to pounce on this, Governor Evers saying, we have $7 billion in trade with Canada, our

17:16.540 --> 17:18.540
closest neighbor.

17:18.540 --> 17:21.260
These have real-world implications, not just political implications.

17:21.260 --> 17:26.980
Right, but again, it's the work of politicians to draw those connections and make people

17:26.980 --> 17:28.660
understand.

17:28.660 --> 17:32.700
When you go to the grocery store, it doesn't say like this came from XYZ, you just sort

17:32.700 --> 17:35.780
of pick up your eggs and your milk and you go on your way.

17:35.780 --> 17:41.220
And then likewise, especially kind of further out on the supply chain, we get a ton of wood

17:41.220 --> 17:42.860
from Canada, for example.

17:42.860 --> 17:47.300
I don't see a sticker on this table kind of explaining how this table came to be.

17:47.300 --> 17:50.700
And so it's easy to feel kind of distanced as just a normal person going through the

17:50.700 --> 17:53.180
world from some of these policies.

17:53.180 --> 17:57.220
So it's the job of Democrats if they want to make hay with this, as Rich said, to make

17:57.300 --> 18:02.820
that hay, which also involves a little bit of complicated explaining a sort of geopolitical

18:02.820 --> 18:06.900
maneuvering, which is a little tricky in like a 30-second ad as we've talked about.

18:06.900 --> 18:07.900
Yeah.

18:07.900 --> 18:11.940
And you have to have the money to run those 30-second ads over and over to explain perhaps

18:11.940 --> 18:15.140
nuanced geopolitical maneuvers in an election.

18:15.140 --> 18:16.940
Well, that is all the time we have for today.

18:16.940 --> 18:19.700
Our colleague, Sean Johnson, will be back next week.

18:19.700 --> 18:21.820
This has been Inside Wisconsin Politics.

18:27.300 --> 18:28.300
podcasts.

18:40.380 --> 18:42.980
Did I say that Willie Horton was in the governor's race?

18:42.980 --> 18:43.980
Fuck.

18:43.980 --> 18:46.660
Because he was my governor.

18:46.660 --> 18:48.580
I wasn't alive, but he would have been.

18:48.580 --> 18:49.580
Do caucus was the governor.

18:49.580 --> 18:50.580
Yes.

18:50.580 --> 18:51.580
I knew where you were going with it.

18:51.580 --> 18:52.580
Yeah.

18:52.580 --> 18:53.580
Thank you.
