And we've already touched on estimates of how millions of eligible American citizen voters don't have a current State-issued ID. The number is in the millions. And in Florida, it was less than 600 votes. I don't know the experience in New Jersey.

And the manner in which we do it--we look at cost benefits. We can't prove fraud; but I can assure you, we can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that people will be denied access to the polls.
