Election, contrary to what u. S. Intelligence conversation, contrary to what Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan says. I dont know i mean, ive been hearing about it. Ive been reading about it. I think its probably unlikely. I think maybe maybe the democrats are putting that out. Who knows. But i think that its pretty unlikely. But, you know, who knows.
