Our voter turnout is abysmal, right? 20:49.666 --> 20:52.033 align:left position:22.5% line:65% size:67.5% but on the flip side, if more people 20:52.033 --> 20:53.466 align:left position:25% line:65% size:65% come out and vote, what does that mean? 20:53.466 --> 20:55.233 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5% They will vote for Democrats? 20:55.233 --> 20:55.933 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55% Maybe not. 20:55.933 --> 20:57.633 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80% Maybe our state still stays red. 20:57.633 --> 21:00.200 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% But, we we do need to get more people to vote. 21:00.200 --> 21:01.933 align:left position:30% line:65% size:60% I think that's our biggest issue. 21:01.933 --> 21:06.000 align:left position:20% line:65% size:70% And that could actually flip the, legislature. 21:06.233 --> 21:07.700 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80% That's why not change the rules. 21:07.700 --> 21:09.966 align:left position:32.5% line:65% size:57.5% Not a single that's not only Donald Trump. 21:09.966 --> 21:12.033 align:left position:17.5% line:65% size:72.5% You know, we didn't win, so we got cheated. 21:12.033 --> 21:14.066 align:left position:42.5% line:65% size:47.5% Last. Night voting. Yeah, I think 21:15.133 --> 21:18.633 align:left position:20% line:65% size:70% so. Most gerrymandered state in the country. 21:18.633 --> 21:20.533 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80% I think I think straight ticket 21:20.533 --> 21:23.700 align:left position:15% line:65% size:75% I think specifically voting does make a difference. 21:23.700 --> 21:24.466 align:left position:35% line:71% size:55% We'll see. 21:24.766 --> 21:27.500 align:left position:12.5% line:65% size:77.5% We'll see if all of the seats remain UN flipped 21:27.500 --> 21:31.000 align:left position:20% line:65% size:70% because there is that, Brownsburg area seat, 21:31.000 --> 21:34.833 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% which I believe last I checked was a 66 vote difference. 21:34.833 --> 21:37.366 align:left position:12.5% line:65% size:77.5% That's well within the margin that a recount could change. 21:37.366 --> 21:40.366 align:left position:25% line:65% size:65% Or even if absentee ballots are still being counted. 21:40.933 --> 21:43.566 align:left position:27.5% line:65% size:62.5% but let's assume it stays where it is. 21:43.566 --> 21:47.533 align:left position:20% line:65% size:70% Are you surprised that not a single seat flipped 20? 21:47.800 --> 21:50.233 align:left position:40% line:65% size:50% I maybe thought 1 or 2 would flip. 21:50.233 --> 21:53.400 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% But but I mean, okay, 20 points, but how about the other way? 21:53.400 --> 21:55.066 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% But but how about the other way? 21:55.066 --> 21:57.800 align:left position:22.5% line:65% size:67.5% So a Democrat didn't lose a single seat, you know, a 21:57.800 --> 21:59.400 align:left position:17.5% line:65% size:72.5% seat on the on the river, which is. 21:59.400 --> 22:02.600 align:left position:27.5% line:65% size:62.5% So they ran they the Republicans ran a candidate 22:02.600 --> 22:05.766 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% who took money from a criminal and wouldn't give it back. 22:05.766 --> 22:07.800 align:left position:25% line:65% size:65% Okay. That's true. That may have. 22:07.800 --> 22:08.533 align:left position:37.5% line:71% size:52.5% Had some. 22:08.900 --> 22:10.533 align:left position:25% line:65% size:65% Impact, but I mean, are you a little surprised that, 22:10.533 --> 22:11.733 align:left position:15% line:71% size:75% I mean, literally nothing. 22:11.733 --> 22:14.133 align:left position:17.5% line:65% size:72.5% We had good. Candidates.

He was I don't disagree with that. 22:32.000 --> 22:33.066 align:left position:25% line:71% size:65% So was Danny Lopez. 22:33.066 --> 22:35.100 align:left position:22.5% line:65% size:67.5% As for that district, he is he's a Republican 22:35.100 --> 22:37.033 align:left position:12.5% line:71% size:77.5% who fits that that district. 22:37.033 --> 22:39.633 align:left position:15% line:65% size:75% See how he votes when he's in that super majority. 22:39.633 --> 22:42.700 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% Well, I mean, but Jerry did that for how many years that voted 22:42.700 --> 22:44.433 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5% the way I think that. 22:44.433 --> 22:45.566 align:left position:27.5% line:71% size:62.5% We'll talk about. 22:45.566 --> 22:45.700 align:left position:40% line:71% size:50% What's. 22:46.566 --> 22:47.300 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% Happened in that district is what Democrats 22:47.566 --> 22:49.400 align:left position:17.5% line:65% size:72.5% have suggested for years, which is moderate. 22:49.400 --> 22:51.700 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% Republicans are willing to vote Democratic. 22:51.700 --> 22:52.133 align:left position:32.5% line:71% size:57.5% Clearly, it's 22:52.900 --> 22:55.766 align:left position:17.5% line:65% size:72.5% a majority Democrat vote, and that except for Danny Lopez. 22:56.300 --> 22:57.333 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80% are we going to start to see 22:57.333 --> 23:00.200 align:left position:22.5% line:65% size:67.5% some of that trickle down to the city level in? 23:00.200 --> 23:02.433 align:left position:40% line:65% size:50% I mean, we we've talked about the purple 23:02.433 --> 23:03.966 align:left position:27.5% line:65% size:62.5% wing of Hamilton County for a long time. 23:03.966 --> 23:04.800 align:left position:25% line:71% size:65% We're not seeing it 23:05.000 --> 23:07.500 align:left position:12.5% line:65% size:77.5% too much at the state level. And the, the, the, 23:07.500 --> 23:09.733 align:left position:15% line:65% size:75% the top of the ticket races notwithstanding. 23:09.733 --> 23:10.766 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80% Are you going to start to see it 23:10.766 --> 23:12.700 align:left position:32.5% line:65% size:57.5% trickle down more into the municipal level? 23:12.700 --> 23:14.500 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% Is that where it's really going to start? 23:14.500 --> 23:15.600 align:left position:30% line:71% size:60% We've seen it. 23:15.600 --> 23:16.533 align:left position:32.5% line:71% size:57.5% Go to go to. 23:16.533 --> 23:20.200 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% Go purple as opposed to ro or B or in blue. 23:20.200 --> 23:22.300 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% Yeah.

It does. It mixes. You have. To. 23:49.600 --> 23:50.433 align:left position:22.5% line:71% size:67.5% When you redistrict. 23:50.633 --> 23:52.033 align:left position:27.5% line:65% size:62.5% In order to make some of those seats competitive, 23:52.033 --> 23:53.366 align:left position:22.5% line:65% size:67.5% you have to go crack urban centers. 23:53.366 --> 23:56.400 align:left position:20% line:65% size:70% If you look at the map, the blue areas are urban cores. 23:56.400 --> 23:57.666 align:left position:15% line:71% size:75% You have to go break those 23:57.666 --> 24:00.400 align:left position:22.5% line:65% size:67.5% and send those voters into suburban areas. 24:00.400 --> 24:03.066 align:left position:20% line:65% size:70% That's gerrymandering.

That that's that's. Right. 24:14.366 --> 24:17.066 align:left position:22.5% line:65% size:67.5% So can't tie Hamilton County and lose 85 counties. 24:17.066 --> 24:19.300 align:left position:10% line:65% size:80% You just can't do it.
