So let's say that happens and you are successful in this complaint. Can we just play out how that would work? The incumbent Republican loses, you win, then ballots are secret. So how are you going to find the people who voted and ask them whether or not they intended to vote for this Dan Sullivan or that Dan Sullivan? Isn't that undermining the integrity of the election? Wait, sorry. So you're just not right about what you're saying. So I want you to explain to me the practicality of if you are successful, how you are going to determine what voters intended. Where are they? How are you going to find them and determine what they intended when they cast their ballots? How is that going to work? So it well, that's exactly what we're trying to do in this lawsuit.
