if the gentleman yield, let us not make the process more complicated than it need be. We do not need to involve the Secretary of State. They simply need to change their residence. At the University of North Texas in my district in Denton, Texas, the NAACP organized a voter drive, and it was called ``Sleep Here, Vote Here.'' They received an award from the NAACP for their efforts. They have had no problem instituting it. The difficulty comes if you have not changed your residence 30 days before the election. People do not realize that, and then they feel they are unfairly disenfranchised. Again, to go to the Secretary of State to do a simple change of address is unnecessarily complicating the process, and I am afraid the gentleman will drive more people out of the process by making them call Austin or whatever the capital of Ohio is, I do not even know, but making them call the State capital to talk to the Secretary of State.
