OK. My colleague, I would yield to you. I have the floor. Do you mind if I borrow your chart? Great. Thank you. Now, my good colleague from Texas says 94 percent of voters said voting was easy in 2020. So why don't we keep it that way? Isn't it true that all of the changes that we are arguing about are post-2020, and is it an overwhelming likelihood that this number, if these changes are allowed to go into effect, will go way down? So, yes, we agree. Keep the 2020 laws. Maybe we should improve them. Right now, what we are combating is a series of legislatures--19--and 33 laws that will make this number surely go down because it makes voting less hard. So we agree that 2020 worked out OK. I guess my friend is saying the Big Lie is false because Donald Trump said it was fraudulent, the election results. I would thank my colleague for his chart and will be using it again.
