about that. >> yes. and i want to ask you about the democrats' new voting rights legislation, this compromised the freedom to vote act. in light of your conversation with senator cruz earlier this u week, what do you think of the new bill's id requirements? flexible id requirements, but thanks to joe manchin's requirement, it does involve some form of voter id. what do you think of that? >> that's part of my point to the senator. every voter id is not the same. texas has chosen to go down a path that adopted a restrictive law. some states allow a signature match. some allow an affidavit if you can't get the appropriate id anh still allow you to vote. so there are other ways to do voter id. but even more importantly, i think we have to stop putting the burden on voters to try to hop over all these different obstacles and burdensome restrictions in order to cast the ballot. if the rights to vote is truly fundamental, then we have to start acting accordingly and
