I would like to do it. You know me.

Do you think if we forced the states to change the way they set up absentee ballot procedures for federal elections, they would then match it for their local elections?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

The question is: does that strike you as odd?

Voting assistance will always be a secondary duty. Senior leadership can expect significant improvement only if a radically different approach is applied.

One issue we need to be aware of is that the first federal primaries in 2010 are about a year from now.

If we had one change to make this better, what would it be?

We need numbers to judge what kind of success we are having.

We could always say, well, they should have registered. That is probably what Mr. Nelson would say, right?

How many total people are there in South Dakota?

I have run this one by Doris Meissner, who sort of likes it for the immigration purposes.
