elections and make sure we don't suppress or subvert the vote. they'll get a chance. what they've done so far is really just shrunk in a moment where they needed to grow and stand up. and they just kowtowed to the former president of the united states. they are supporting the big lie, and that is detrimental to our future. >> the four people i just mentioned don't support the big lie. and they have been, you know, risking their professional careers to stand up to it. i guess my point is instead of -- is there not a bipartisan effort that could be done so that something could be implemented and passed to protect basic voting rights? i understand the concerns about more expansive voting rights. i'm not saying i agree or disagree but is there not like just a very basic protection that could be worked on with republicans? >> well, the john lewis voting rights act extension would be that piece of legislation that they can join on right now. expanding -- the voting rights act has always been bipartisan.
