[00:00:00]The first one is citizenship on the driver's license. Cuz we're also a voter ID state, and that last line of defense is that poll worker who takes that driver's license. And I think the driver's license should say, if I could figure out how to put it in neon on the license, I would. If you're a non-citizen, it should say in neon, "non-citizen." So, she can say, "I'm sorry, you can't vote." And if, you know, he That person became naturalized afterwards, they give him a provisional ballot, and he just has to come into court and show his naturalization certificate US passport, and then they'll count his vote. But, if they shouldn't be counting his vote if he's a non-citizen, and they have to know in order to do that. Um something else that we're working on, you know, I talked about the National Voter Registration Act making every state a motor voter state. Well, what a lot of people don't know is it also made us the food stamp voter state, the welfare voter state, and the Medicaid voter state. Because the NVRA doesn't just say that the DMV has to ask you, "Do you want to register to vote?" It also says, "Medicaid office, food stamp office, welfare office, you have to ask people if they want to register to vote." And so, this year we've got a bill in the committee. If it doesn't pass, which it may not, it'll be on my legislative agenda so when we have a Republican governor, we don't have to worry about a veto.

[00:01:16]Is the food stamp office, the welfare office, the Medicaid office also have to send a list of non-citizens to the Secretary of State so we can make sure that they're not putting people on the voter rolls.
