I'm John Batchler. I welcome my colleague, Professor Richard Epstein, of the Civitas Institute.

The SAVE Act, SAVEE, Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.

This speaks to the next few months as we look to the midterms, and then the presidential

The states would start on the basis of how long it took to get the vote counted.

Maine or Montana or California would start much earlier than the states in the east that are connected by telegraph and in some instances railroad.

And they were taking into account that the states have different challenges.

This takes that away from the states entirely, takes their authority away.
