Right, so the place to start that conversation is the fact that the United States Constitution reserves for the states the time, place, and manner of elections are meant to be determined by state legislatures, not state attorneys general, not state Supreme Court justices, but only legislatures. So that's the basic bedrock principle around which all of these decisions must flow.

So everything that is happening in Congress right now to try to federalize our elections, unfortunately, both parties have gone along with some aspects of that already.

We already do have two federal election laws, National Voting Rights Act and Help America Vote Act, well-meaning laws that, in fact, are either ignored or simply are funding mechanisms for some of the disasters that we saw in the 2020 election. So in terms of your question about is there widespread voter fraud in the United States, there is voter fraud.

The question is, is it of a sufficient degree to change the outcome of an election? And certainly I think we've seen at the local level and in some states that some of the practices that we saw in the 2020 election were truly outrageous. The left is trying to tell us that voter suppression is a current issue in 2022 in this country.

I'm an immigrant to this country, and I can tell you that this country has the freest access to the vote for people of all colors and backgrounds, and even places of origin like myself, of any country in the world. And so that is true of people in Georgia, that is true of people in any place in the South, that is true of people in minority communities in California.

I would say it is because of the fact that we don't monitor our voter rolls very well. It is almost too free to vote. It would be much more legitimate to require some form of ID, as many states do legally. We don't have that, so it is all too free to be allowed to vote in this country.

And so the myth of voter suppression or race-based voter suppression in this country or voter suppression because partisan activists cannot give out gifts in the line to vote, this is a foul lie being pushed by the left that is truly shocking. And the people who are saying it know better.
