I just think, I will just close Madam Chair by sort of making the point, what does it say about where we have come to in terms of the level of polarization in this society and the scorched earth politics of victory by any means that people are reduced for obviously partisan reasons to trying to disenfranchise their own neighbors on false pretenses, or try to tie up already stretched thin election administration resources by saying, you know what we are going to take a blunt instrument here and just say, there might be hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens, we want to make it harder for them to vote, with no base for the challenge whatsoever. It is a deeply immoral practice, and the fact that Georgia's state legislature has explicitly sanctioned it, I think is repugnant.
