  Rob: And

  Rob: so
• 2:13
  Rob: as
• 2:14
  Rob: I
• 2:14
  Rob: was
• 2:14
  Rob: a
• 2:14
  Rob: young
• 2:14
  Rob: person
• 2:15
  Rob: getting
• 2:15
  Rob: involved
• 2:15
  Rob: in

  Rob: politics,
• 2:16
  Rob: he
• 2:16
  Rob: just
• 2:16
  Rob: shared
• 2:16
  Rob: about
• 2:17
  Rob: this
• 2:17
  Rob: idea.
• 2:17
  Rob: So
• 2:18
  Rob: I
• 2:18
  Rob: had
• 2:18
  Rob: this
• 2:18
  Rob: kind
• 2:18
  Rob: of
• 2:18
  Rob: idea
• 2:18
  Rob: planted
• 2:19
  Rob: that,
• 2:20
  Rob: oh,
• 2:20
  Rob: we
• 2:20
  Rob: should
• 2:20
  Rob: be
• 2:20
  Rob: talking

  Rob: about
• 2:21
  Rob: this.
• 2:21
  Rob: And
• 2:22
  Rob: then
• 2:22
  Rob: I
• 2:22
  Rob: got
• 2:22
  Rob: very
• 2:22
  Rob: involved
• 2:23
  Rob: in
• 2:23
  Rob: a
• 2:23
  Rob: charter
• 2:23
  Rob: reform
• 2:24
  Rob: effort
• 2:24
  Rob: in
• 2:24
  Rob: Washington
• 2:24
  Rob: state.
• 2:26
  Rob: And
• 2:26
  Rob: in
• 2:26
  Rob: my
• 2:26
  Rob: county
• 2:27
  Rob: and
• 2:27
  Rob: said,
• 2:27
  Rob: oh
• 2:27
  Rob: of
• 2:28
  Rob: course
• 2:28
  Rob: we
• 2:28
  Rob: should
• 2:28
  Rob: look
• 2:28
  Rob: at
• 2:28
  Rob: proportion
• 2:29
  Rob: representation.
• 2:29
  Rob: And
• 2:30
  Rob: this
• 2:30
  Rob: is
• 2:31
  Rob: pre-internet
• 2:31
  Rob: and
• 2:31
  Rob: you
• 2:32
  Rob: just
• 2:32
  Rob: send
• 2:32
  Rob: lots
• 2:32
  Rob: of
• 2:32
  Rob: letters
• 2:33
  Rob: out
• 2:33
  Rob: and
• 2:34
  Rob: learn
• 2:34
  Rob: more
• 2:34
  Rob: and
• 2:35
  Rob: more
• 2:35
  Rob: about
• 2:35
  Rob: things.
• 2:35
  Rob: And
• 2:36
  Rob: I
• 2:36
  Rob: think
• 2:36
  Rob: that
• 2:36
  Rob: what
• 2:37
  Rob: really
• 2:37
  Rob: drove
• 2:37
  Rob: my
• 2:38
  Rob: interest
• 2:38
  Rob: in
• 2:38
  Rob: it
• 2:39
  Rob: is
• 2:40
  Rob: a
• 2:40
  Rob: belief
• 2:41
  Rob: that
• 2:41
  Rob: our
• 2:41
  Rob: politics
• 2:42
  Rob: was
• 2:42
  Rob: too
• 2:42
  Rob: narrow
• 2:43
  Rob: at
• 2:43
  Rob: the
• 2:43
  Rob: time.
• 2:43
  Rob: That
• 2:43
  Rob: was
• 2:44
  Rob: I
• 2:44
  Rob: think
• 2:44
  Rob: the
• 2:44
  Rob: insight
• 2:45
  Rob: of
• 2:45
  Rob: the
• 2:45
  Rob: time
• 2:45
  Rob: that
• 2:45
  Rob: politics
• 2:46
  Rob: was
• 2:46
  Rob: like
• 2:46
  Rob: a
• 2:46
  Rob: duopoly
• 2:47
  Rob: and
• 2:48
  Rob: third
• 2:48
  Rob: parties
• 2:48
  Rob: were
• 2:49
  Rob: isolated
• 2:49
  Rob: and
• 2:49
  Rob: independents
• 2:50
  Rob: couldn't
• 2:50
  Rob: really
• 2:50
  Rob: run.
• 2:51
  Rob: And
• 2:52
  Rob: what
• 2:52
  Rob: you
• 2:53
  Rob: saw
• 2:53
  Rob: emerging
• 2:54
  Rob: was
• 2:54
  Rob: Ross
• 2:54
  Rob: Pro
• 2:54
  Rob: ran
• 2:55
  Rob: for

  Rob: president
• 2:55
  Rob: in
• 2:55
  Rob: 1992
• 2:56
  Rob: or
• 2:56
  Rob: the
• 2:56
  Rob: first
• 2:56
  Rob: year.
• 2:57
  Rob: That
• 2:57
  Rob: was
• 2:57
  Rob: a
• 2:57
  Rob: strong
• 2:57
  Rob: independent
• 2:58
  Rob: voice
• 2:59
  Rob: that
• 2:59
  Rob: created
• 3:00
  Rob: a
• 3:00
  Rob: conversation
• 3:00
  Rob: about
• 3:01
  Rob: ranked
• 3:01
  Rob: choice
• 3:01
  Rob: voting
• 3:02
  Rob: and

  Rob: limits
• 3:05
  Rob: movement
• 3:06
  Rob: passed

  Rob: everywhere.
• 3:07
  Rob: That
• 3:07
  Rob: was
• 3:07
  Rob: one
• 3:07
  Rob: approach
• 3:08
  Rob: to
• 3:08
  Rob: like,
• 3:08
  Rob: how
• 3:08
  Rob: can

  Rob: we
• 3:09
  Rob: respond
• 3:09
  Rob: to
• 3:09
  Rob: things,
• 3:10
  Rob: but
• 3:10
  Rob: I
• 3:10
  Rob: felt
• 3:10
  Rob: that
• 3:11
  Rob: proportion
• 3:11
  Rob: representation
• 3:12
  Rob: was

  Rob: and
• 3:14
  Rob: it
• 3:15
  Rob: was
• 3:15
  Rob: really
• 3:15
  Rob: fun.
• 3:15
  Rob: We
• 3:15
  Rob: connected
• 3:16
  Rob: with
• 3:16
  Rob: people.
• 3:16
  Rob: We
• 3:16
  Rob: all
• 3:16
  Rob: convened
• 3:17
  Rob: in

  Rob: without
• 3:20
  Rob: really
• 3:20
  Rob: any
• 3:20
  Rob: money,
• 3:20
  Rob: but
• 3:21
  Rob: a

  Rob: lot
• 3:21
  Rob: of

  Rob: energy
• 3:22
  Rob: and
• 3:22
  Rob: a

  Rob: good
• 3:23
  Rob: connections

  Rob: of

  Rob: things

  Rob: to

  Rob: do.
• 3:27
  Rob: And
• 3:27
  Rob: I
• 3:27
  Rob: think
• 3:27
  Rob: what
• 3:27
  Rob: ultimately
• 3:29
  Rob: was
• 3:29
  Rob: the
• 3:30
  Rob: change
• 3:30
  Rob: that
• 3:30
  Rob: moved
• 3:31
  Rob: the

  Rob: most
• 3:31
  Rob: was
• 3:32
  Rob: rank
• 3:32
  Rob: choice,
• 3:32
  Rob: voting.
• 3:33
  Rob: But
• 3:34
  Rob: over
• 3:34
  Rob: the
• 3:34
  Rob: years
• 3:35
  Rob: I
• 3:35
  Rob: was
• 3:36
  Rob: fortunate
• 3:36
  Rob: enough
• 3:36
  Rob: to
• 3:36
  Rob: advance
• 3:37
  Rob: other
• 3:37
  Rob: good
• 3:37
  Rob: ideas,
• 3:38
  Rob: like

  Rob: the

  Rob: National
• 3:38
  Rob: Popular
• 3:38
  Rob: Vote

  Rob: changes
• 3:41
  Rob: and,
• 3:42
  Rob: you
• 3:42
  Rob: get
• 3:42
  Rob: a
• 3:42
  Rob: lot
• 3:42
  Rob: of
• 3:43
  Rob: changes,
• 3:43
  Rob: but
• 3:43
  Rob: here
• 3:43
  Rob: we're
• 3:44
  Rob: with
• 3:44
  Rob: so
• 3:44
  Rob: much
• 3:45
  Rob: to
• 3:45
  Rob: do
• 3:45
  Rob: and
• 3:46
  Rob: so
• 3:46
  Rob: it's
• 3:46
  Rob: not
• 3:46
  Rob: it
• 3:47
  Rob: hasn't
• 3:47
  Rob: been
• 3:48
  Rob: worth
• 3:48
  Rob: doing.
• 3:49
  Rob: But
• 3:49
  Rob: it
• 3:49
  Rob: also
• 3:50
  Rob: is
• 3:50
  Rob: clear
• 3:50
  Rob: that
• 3:50
  Rob: we

  Rob: have,

  Rob: we

  Jerremy: Yep.

  Jerremy: Yeah.

  Jerremy: And

  Jerremy: when

  Jerremy: you

  Jerremy: we

  Jerremy: so

  Jerremy: much
• 4:15
  Jerremy: left
• 4:15
  Jerremy: to

  Jerremy: do,

  Jerremy: what

  Jerremy: really

  Jerremy: gets

  Jerremy: sparks
• 4:17
  Jerremy: inside

  Jerremy: of

  Jerremy: you.
• 4:19
  Rob: What
• 4:20
  Rob: really
• 4:20
  Rob: drove
• 4:20
  Rob: my
• 4:21
  Rob: interest
• 4:21
  Rob: in
• 4:21
  Rob: the
• 4:21
  Rob: nineties
• 4:22
  Rob: and
• 4:22
  Rob: a
• 4:22
  Rob: lot
• 4:22
  Rob: of
• 4:22
  Rob: the
• 4:22
  Rob: people
• 4:23
  Rob: coming
• 4:23
  Rob: into
• 4:23
  Rob: that
• 4:23
  Rob: generation,
• 4:24
  Rob: I
• 4:24
  Rob: think
• 4:24
  Rob: there
• 4:24
  Rob: were
• 4:24
  Rob: two
• 4:25
  Rob: major
• 4:26
  Rob: strands
• 4:26
  Rob: of
• 4:26
  Rob: interest
• 4:27
  Rob: for
• 4:27
  Rob: proportion
• 4:27
  Rob: representation.
• 4:28
  Rob: One
• 4:29
  Rob: was
• 4:29
  Rob: this
• 4:29
  Rob: sense
• 4:30
  Rob: of
• 4:30
  Rob: the
• 4:30
  Rob: hip
• 4:30
  Rob: lock
• 4:31
  Rob: nature
• 4:31
  Rob: of
• 4:32
  Rob: parties.
• 4:33
  Rob: And
• 4:33
  Rob: so
• 4:33
  Rob: the
• 4:33
  Rob: energy
• 4:34
  Rob: really
• 4:34
  Rob: mostly
• 4:35
  Rob: came
• 4:35
  Rob: from
• 4:35
  Rob: outside
• 4:36
  Rob: the
• 4:36
  Rob: parties,
• 4:37
  Rob: like
• 4:37
  Rob: to
• 4:37
  Rob: the
• 4:37
  Rob: left
• 4:37
  Rob: or
• 4:37
  Rob: to
• 4:38
  Rob: the
• 4:38
  Rob: right.
• 4:39
  Rob: You
• 4:39
  Rob: sometimes
• 4:39
  Rob: would
• 4:39
  Rob: see
• 4:40
  Rob: again
• 4:40
  Rob: this
• 4:40
  Rob: Ross
• 4:40
  Rob: Perot
• 4:41
  Rob: kind
• 4:41
  Rob: of
• 4:41
  Rob: energy,
• 4:41
  Rob: but
• 4:42
  Rob: more
• 4:43
  Rob: on
• 4:43
  Rob: the
• 4:43
  Rob: left
• 4:43
  Rob: and
• 4:43
  Rob: right.
• 4:44
  Rob: On
• 4:45
  Rob: that
• 4:45
  Rob: piece
• 4:45
  Rob: now
• 4:46
  Rob: we
• 4:46
  Rob: don't
• 4:46
  Rob: see
• 4:46
  Rob: them
• 4:46
  Rob: as
• 4:47
  Rob: hip
• 4:47
  Rob: lock.
• 4:47
  Rob: We
• 4:47
  Rob: see
• 4:47
  Rob: the
• 4:47
  Rob: parties
• 4:47
  Rob: as
• 4:48
  Rob: deadlocked.
• 4:48
  Rob: We
• 4:48
  Rob: see
• 4:48
  Rob: like
• 4:49
  Rob: the
• 4:49
  Rob: polarization
• 4:50
  Rob: and
• 4:50
  Rob: the
• 4:50
  Rob: doom
• 4:50
  Rob: loop
• 4:51
  Rob: of
• 4:51
  Rob: the
• 4:51
  Rob: parties
• 4:51
  Rob: being
• 4:52
  Rob: pushed
• 4:52
  Rob: in
• 4:52
  Rob: each
• 4:52
  Rob: cycle
• 4:53
  Rob: farther
• 4:53
  Rob: and
• 4:53
  Rob: farther
• 4:54
  Rob: apart,
• 4:54
  Rob: and
• 4:55
  Rob: fearing
• 4:56
  Rob: and
• 4:56
  Rob: hating
• 4:56
  Rob: each
• 4:56
  Rob: other.
• 4:57
  Rob: And
• 4:58
  Rob: when
• 4:59
  Rob: a
• 4:59
  Rob: party
• 4:59
  Rob: gets
• 4:59
  Rob: a
• 4:59
  Rob: chance
• 5:00
  Rob: to
• 5:00
  Rob: run
• 5:00
  Rob: things,
• 5:00
  Rob: running
• 5:00
  Rob: it
• 5:01
  Rob: on
• 5:01
  Rob: its
• 5:01
  Rob: own,
• 5:01
  Rob: it's
• 5:01
  Rob: very
• 5:01
  Rob: much
• 5:02
  Rob: against
• 5:02
  Rob: grain
• 5:03
  Rob: of
• 5:03
  Rob: how
• 5:03
  Rob: United
• 5:04
  Rob: States
• 5:04
  Rob: Constitution
• 5:05
  Rob: is
• 5:05
  Rob: set
• 5:05
  Rob: up
• 5:06
  Rob: and
• 5:06
  Rob: how
• 5:06
  Rob: we
• 5:06
  Rob: govern
• 5:06
  Rob: best
• 5:08
  Rob: and
• 5:08
  Rob: also
• 5:09
  Rob: the
• 5:09
  Rob: whole
• 5:09
  Rob: time
• 5:09
  Rob: we've
• 5:09
  Rob: had
• 5:10
  Rob: this
• 5:10
  Rob: conversation
• 5:11
  Rob: about
• 5:11
  Rob: how
• 5:11
  Rob: to
• 5:12
  Rob: be
• 5:12
  Rob: a
• 5:12
  Rob: successful
• 5:13
  Rob: multiracial
• 5:13
  Rob: democracy.
• 5:14
  Rob: And
• 5:14
  Rob: so
• 5:15
  Rob: when
• 5:15
  Rob: I
• 5:15
  Rob: first
• 5:15
  Rob: started,
• 5:16
  Rob: within
• 5:16
  Rob: the
• 5:16
  Rob: first
• 5:16
  Rob: year,
• 5:17
  Rob: we
• 5:17
  Rob: had
• 5:17
  Rob: the
• 5:17
  Rob: first
• 5:17
  Rob: major
• 5:18
  Rob: Supreme
• 5:18
  Rob: Court
• 5:18
  Rob: rulings
• 5:20
  Rob: checking

  Rob: the

  Rob: approach

  Rob: to

  Rob: implementing

  Rob: the

  Rob: Voting

  Rob: representation
• 5:26
  Rob: for
• 5:26
  Rob: racial
• 5:26
  Rob: minorities
• 5:27
  Rob: through
• 5:27
  Rob: drawing
• 5:28
  Rob: districts
• 5:29
  Rob: to
• 5:29
  Rob: create
• 5:29
  Rob: black

  Rob: Latino,

  Rob: majority
• 5:31
  Rob: Asian
• 5:31
  Rob: American
• 5:32
  Rob: majority
• 5:32
  Rob: districts
• 5:33
  Rob: within
• 5:34
  Rob: a
• 5:34
  Rob: winner
• 5:34
  Rob: take
• 5:34
  Rob: all
• 5:34
  Rob: system,
• 5:35
  Rob: trying
• 5:35
  Rob: to
• 5:35
  Rob: make
• 5:35
  Rob: it
• 5:36
  Rob: fair
• 5:36
  Rob: for
• 5:37
  Rob: those
• 5:37
  Rob: in
• 5:37
  Rob: the
• 5:37
  Rob: minority,
• 5:38
  Rob: which
• 5:38
  Rob: is
• 5:38
  Rob: almost
• 5:38
  Rob: a
• 5:38
  Rob: contradiction.
• 5:39
  Rob: And
• 5:40
  Rob: that
• 5:40
  Rob: approach
• 5:40
  Rob: became
• 5:41
  Rob: controversial
• 5:42
  Rob: within
• 5:42
  Rob: that
• 5:42
  Rob: first
• 5:43
  Rob: year.
• 5:44
  Rob: And
• 5:44
  Rob: we
• 5:44
  Rob: were
• 5:45
  Rob: engaging
• 5:45
  Rob: with
• 5:45
  Rob: that
• 5:46
  Rob: and
• 5:46
  Rob: trying
• 5:47
  Rob: to
• 5:47
  Rob: point
• 5:47
  Rob: out
• 5:48
  Rob: that,
• 5:48
  Rob: a
• 5:48
  Rob: proportional
• 5:48
  Rob: system
• 5:49
  Rob: would
• 5:49
  Rob: allow
• 5:50
  Rob: a
• 5:50
  Rob: voter
• 5:50
  Rob: driven
• 5:51
  Rob: process
• 5:51
  Rob: to
• 5:51
  Rob: that.
• 5:52
  Rob: And
• 5:52
  Rob: now
• 5:53
  Rob: we're
• 5:53
  Rob: seeing
• 5:53
  Rob: that
• 5:53
  Rob: one
• 5:54
  Rob: heating
• 5:54
  Rob: up
• 5:55
  Rob: in
• 5:55
  Rob: a
• 5:55
  Rob: whole
• 5:55
  Rob: different
• 5:55
  Rob: way
• 5:56
  Rob: too.
• 5:56
  Rob: But
• 5:56
  Rob: that,
• 5:56
  Rob: so
• 5:57
  Rob: back
• 5:57
  Rob: in
• 5:57
  Rob: the
• 5:57
  Rob: nineties
• 5:57
  Rob: was
• 5:57
  Rob: really.
• 5:59
  Rob: Talking
• 5:59
  Rob: about
• 5:59
  Rob: it
• 5:59
  Rob: more
• 6:00
  Rob: through
• 6:00
  Rob: that
• 6:00
  Rob: lens.
• 6:01
  Rob: I
• 6:01
  Rob: will
• 6:01
  Rob: say
• 6:02
  Rob: I've
• 6:02
  Rob: always
• 6:02
  Rob: had
• 6:02
  Rob: this
• 6:03
  Rob: vision
• 6:04
  Rob: of
• 6:04
  Rob: making
• 6:05
  Rob: aspirational
• 6:05
  Rob: changes.
• 6:06
  Rob: I
• 6:06
  Rob: wanna
• 6:06
  Rob: make
• 6:06
  Rob: big
• 6:07
  Rob: changes
• 6:08
  Rob: because
• 6:08
  Rob: I
• 6:08
  Rob: feel
• 6:08
  Rob: that
• 6:08
  Rob: we
• 6:08
  Rob: need
• 6:09
  Rob: to
• 6:09
  Rob: do
• 6:09
  Rob: a
• 6:09
  Rob: lot,
• 6:10
  Rob: we
• 6:10
  Rob: need
• 6:10
  Rob: to
• 6:10
  Rob: address
• 6:11
  Rob: the
• 6:11
  Rob: electoral
• 6:11
  Rob: college,
• 6:12
  Rob: we
• 6:12
  Rob: need
• 6:12
  Rob: to
• 6:12
  Rob: have
• 6:12
  Rob: a
• 6:12
  Rob: right
• 6:12
  Rob: to
• 6:12
  Rob: vote
• 6:13
  Rob: in
• 6:13
  Rob: the
• 6:13
  Rob: Constitution
• 6:13
  Rob: and
• 6:13
  Rob: so
• 6:14
  Rob: on.
• 6:14
  Rob: And
• 6:15
  Rob: changing
• 6:15
  Rob: winner
• 6:15
  Rob: take
• 6:16
  Rob: all
• 6:16
  Rob: elections,
• 6:17
  Rob: but
• 6:17
  Rob: always
• 6:18
  Rob: wanting
• 6:18
  Rob: to
• 6:18
  Rob: be
• 6:19
  Rob: relevant,
• 6:19
  Rob: always
• 6:20
  Rob: finding
• 6:20
  Rob: a
• 6:20
  Rob: way
• 6:20
  Rob: to
• 6:20
  Rob: move
• 6:21
  Rob: forward
• 6:21
  Rob: and
• 6:21
  Rob: really
• 6:21
  Rob: engaging
• 6:22
  Rob: where
• 6:22
  Rob: people
• 6:23
  Rob: are.
• 6:23
  Rob: And
• 6:24
  Rob: what
• 6:24
  Rob: we
• 6:24
  Rob: ultimately
• 6:25
  Rob: found
• 6:26
  Rob: in
• 6:26
  Rob: the
• 6:26
  Rob: aughts
• 6:27
  Rob: and
• 6:27
  Rob: in
• 6:27
  Rob: the
• 6:27
  Rob: tens,
• 6:29
  Rob: is
• 6:29
  Rob: that
• 6:30
  Rob: rankers
• 6:30
  Rob: voting
• 6:32
  Rob: was
• 6:32
  Rob: where
• 6:33
  Rob: people
• 6:33
  Rob: were
• 6:34
  Rob: more
• 6:34
  Rob: ready
• 6:34
  Rob: to
• 6:34
  Rob: make
• 6:34
  Rob: changes.
• 6:35
  Rob: And
• 6:36
  Rob: so
• 6:37
  Rob: I
• 6:37
  Rob: continue
• 6:38
  Rob: to
• 6:38
  Rob: believe
• 6:39
  Rob: in
• 6:39
  Rob: proportional
• 6:39
  Rob: systems.
• 6:40
  Rob: I
• 6:40
  Rob: think
• 6:40
  Rob: actually
• 6:40
  Rob: the
• 6:41
  Rob: trends
• 6:41
  Rob: I
• 6:41
  Rob: just
• 6:41
  Rob: talked
• 6:42
  Rob: about
• 6:42
  Rob: create
• 6:42
  Rob: an
• 6:43
  Rob: opening
• 6:43
  Rob: for
• 6:43
  Rob: that.
• 6:44
  Rob: But
• 6:44
  Rob: I
• 6:44
  Rob: also
• 6:45
  Rob: feel
• 6:45
  Rob: that
• 6:45
  Rob: rank
• 6:45
  Rob: trust
• 6:45
  Rob: voting
• 6:46
  Rob: is
• 6:46
  Rob: just
• 6:46
  Rob: particularly
• 6:47
  Rob: relevant
• 6:47
  Rob: for
• 6:48
  Rob: a
• 6:48
  Rob: change
• 6:48
  Rob: right
• 6:48
  Rob: now
• 6:49
  Rob: that
• 6:49
  Rob: can
• 6:49
  Rob: be
• 6:49
  Rob: won,
• 6:50
  Rob: not
• 6:50
  Rob: easily,
• 6:51
  Rob: but
• 6:51
  Rob: that's
• 6:52
  Rob: one
• 6:52
  Rob: that,
• 6:52
  Rob: so
• 6:52
  Rob: that
• 6:53
  Rob: has
• 6:53
  Rob: been
• 6:53
  Rob: important.
• 6:53
  Rob: It's
• 6:53
  Rob: always
• 6:54
  Rob: this
• 6:54
  Rob: dance
• 6:54
  Rob: between
• 6:56
  Rob: keeping
• 6:56
  Rob: the
• 6:56
  Rob: big
• 6:56
  Rob: ideas
• 6:57
  Rob: in
• 6:57
  Rob: mind,
• 6:58
  Rob: but
• 6:58
  Rob: trying
• 6:59
  Rob: to
• 6:59
  Rob: find
• 6:59
  Rob: a
• 6:59
  Rob: vehicle
• 7:00
  Rob: to
• 7:01
  Rob: advance
• 7:01
  Rob: 'em.
• 7:02
  Jerremy: Right
• 7:03
  Jerremy: and.
• 7:04
  Jerremy: This
• 7:04
  Jerremy: example
• 7:05
  Jerremy: where
• 7:06
  Jerremy: you're
• 7:06
  Jerremy: talking
• 7:06
  Jerremy: about,
• 7:07
  Jerremy: I

  Jerremy: think

  Jerremy: in

  Jerremy: general
• 7:09
  Jerremy: you

  Jerremy: have

  Jerremy: this

  Jerremy: institutional

  Jerremy: trust
• 7:12
  Jerremy: at

  Jerremy: historic
• 7:13
  Jerremy: lows.
• 7:14
  Jerremy: How
• 7:14
  Jerremy: do
• 7:14
  Jerremy: you
• 7:14
  Jerremy: see
• 7:15
  Jerremy: reforms
• 7:16
  Jerremy: like
• 7:16
  Jerremy: proportional,
• 7:17
  Jerremy: rank
• 7:18
  Jerremy: choice
• 7:19
  Jerremy: voting,
• 7:20
  Jerremy: which
• 7:20
  Jerremy: is
• 7:20
  Jerremy: a
• 7:21
  Jerremy: great
• 7:21
  Jerremy: way
• 7:21
  Jerremy: to,
• 7:22
  Jerremy: allocate
• 7:22
  Jerremy: these
• 7:23
  Jerremy: seats

  Jerremy: based

  Jerremy: on

  Jerremy: that

  Jerremy: through

  Jerremy: more

  Jerremy: better

  Jerremy: voters.
• 7:31
  Rob: I
• 7:31
  Rob: think
• 7:31
  Rob: the
• 7:31
  Rob: most
• 7:32
  Rob: exciting
• 7:33
  Rob: change
• 7:33
  Rob: that
• 7:33
  Rob: would
• 7:33
  Rob: happen
• 7:34
  Rob: is
• 7:34
  Rob: that
• 7:35
  Rob: all
• 7:35
  Rob: the
• 7:35
  Rob: parts
• 7:35
  Rob: of
• 7:35
  Rob: the
• 7:35
  Rob: country
• 7:36
  Rob: would
• 7:36
  Rob: open
• 7:36
  Rob: up.
• 7:37
  Rob: Toward
• 7:38
  Rob: relevant
• 7:38
  Rob: competitive
• 7:39
  Rob: elections
• 7:39
  Rob: in
• 7:40
  Rob: November.
• 7:40
  Rob: So
• 7:40
  Rob: that's
• 7:40
  Rob: step
• 7:41
  Rob: one.
• 7:42
  Rob: That's
• 7:42
  Rob: also
• 7:42
  Rob: why
• 7:42
  Rob: I
• 7:42
  Rob: like
• 7:43
  Rob: the
• 7:43
  Rob: national
• 7:43
  Rob: popular
• 7:43
  Rob: vote
• 7:44
  Rob: plan.
• 7:44
  Rob: The
• 7:44
  Rob: having
• 7:45
  Rob: a
• 7:45
  Rob: direct
• 7:45
  Rob: election
• 7:45
  Rob: of
• 7:45
  Rob: president,
• 7:46
  Rob: effectively
• 7:47
  Rob: within
• 7:47
  Rob: the
• 7:48
  Rob: electoral
• 7:48
  Rob: college
• 7:48
  Rob: system.
• 7:49
  Rob: But
• 7:49
  Rob: it,
• 7:49
  Rob: every
• 7:49
  Rob: vote
• 7:50
  Rob: in
• 7:50
  Rob: every
• 7:50
  Rob: state
• 7:50
  Rob: counts
• 7:50
  Rob: the
• 7:50
  Rob: same.
• 7:51
  Rob: And
• 7:51
  Rob: so
• 7:51
  Rob: the
• 7:51
  Rob: candidates
• 7:52
  Rob: will
• 7:52
  Rob: compete
• 7:53
  Rob: for
• 7:53
  Rob: a
• 7:53
  Rob: vote
• 7:53
  Rob: in
• 7:53
  Rob: Mississippi
• 7:54
  Rob: and
• 7:54
  Rob: in
• 7:55
  Rob: Massachusetts
• 7:56
  Rob: and
• 7:57
  Rob: Michigan
• 7:57
  Rob: and
• 7:58
  Rob: the
• 7:58
  Rob: swing
• 7:58
  Rob: states.
• 7:59
  Rob: And
• 7:59
  Rob: in
• 7:59
  Rob: some
• 7:59
  Rob: ways
• 7:59
  Rob: the
• 7:59
  Rob: swing
• 8:00
  Rob: states,
• 8:00
  Rob: nonw
• 8:01
  Rob: states
• 8:01
  Rob: and
• 8:01
  Rob: presidential
• 8:02
  Rob: elections
• 8:02
  Rob: underscores
• 8:04
  Rob: that
• 8:04
  Rob: in
• 8:04
  Rob: a
• 8:04
  Rob: winner
• 8:04
  Rob: take
• 8:04
  Rob: all
• 8:04
  Rob: system
• 8:05
  Rob: in
• 8:05
  Rob: this
• 8:05
  Rob: heavily
• 8:06
  Rob: polarized
• 8:06
  Rob: environment.
• 8:08
  Rob: There's
• 8:08
  Rob: only
• 8:08
  Rob: some
• 8:08
  Rob: places
• 8:09
  Rob: that
• 8:09
  Rob: are
• 8:09
  Rob: close.
• 8:10
  Rob: So
• 8:10
  Rob: we
• 8:10
  Rob: can
• 8:11
  Rob: see
• 8:11
  Rob: that
• 8:11
  Rob: really
• 8:11
  Rob: clearly
• 8:12
  Rob: in
• 8:12
  Rob: presidential
• 8:12
  Rob: races
• 8:13
  Rob: and
• 8:13
  Rob: the
• 8:13
  Rob: candidates
• 8:14
  Rob: evidence
• 8:14
  Rob: that
• 8:14
  Rob: they
• 8:15
  Rob: just
• 8:15
  Rob: don't
• 8:15
  Rob: campaign
• 8:16
  Rob: in,
• 8:16
  Rob: 80%
• 8:16
  Rob: of
• 8:17
  Rob: the
• 8:17
  Rob: country.
• 8:18
  Rob: And
• 8:18
  Rob: then
• 8:19
  Rob: in
• 8:19
  Rob: house
• 8:20
  Rob: races
• 8:20
  Rob: because
• 8:20
  Rob: it's
• 8:21
  Rob: fractured
• 8:21
  Rob: by
• 8:21
  Rob: having
• 8:22
  Rob: individual
• 8:22
  Rob: candidates.
• 8:23
  Rob: It's
• 8:23
  Rob: maybe
• 8:23
  Rob: not
• 8:24
  Rob: as
• 8:24
  Rob: obvious,
• 8:24
  Rob: but
• 8:25
  Rob: we're
• 8:25
  Rob: getting
• 8:25
  Rob: more
• 8:25
  Rob: and
• 8:25
  Rob: more
• 8:26
  Rob: aware
• 8:26
  Rob: of
• 8:26
  Rob: just
• 8:26
  Rob: how
• 8:27
  Rob: similar
• 8:28
  Rob: it
• 8:28
  Rob: is
• 8:28
  Rob: in
• 8:28
  Rob: some
• 8:28
  Rob: ways,
• 8:28
  Rob: even
• 8:29
  Rob: more
• 8:29
  Rob: so
• 8:29
  Rob: in
• 8:29
  Rob: the
• 8:29
  Rob: sense
• 8:30
  Rob: of
• 8:30
  Rob: just.
• 8:30
  Rob: Almost
• 8:31
  Rob: every
• 8:31
  Rob: congressional
• 8:32
  Rob: race
• 8:32
  Rob: isn't
• 8:32
  Rob: competitive
• 8:33
  Rob: in
• 8:33
  Rob: November.
• 8:34
  Rob: So
• 8:34
  Rob: if
• 8:34
  Rob: you
• 8:35
  Rob: just
• 8:35
  Rob: go
• 8:35
  Rob: to
• 8:35
  Rob: multi-member
• 8:36
  Rob: districts.
• 8:36
  Rob: So
• 8:36
  Rob: that's
• 8:36
  Rob: the
• 8:36
  Rob: step
• 8:37
  Rob: is
• 8:37
  Rob: like
• 8:37
  Rob: right
• 8:37
  Rob: now
• 8:37
  Rob: we
• 8:38
  Rob: have
• 8:38
  Rob: a
• 8:38
  Rob: single
• 8:38
  Rob: member
• 8:38
  Rob: district
• 8:39
  Rob: system
• 8:39
  Rob: where
• 8:39
  Rob: the,
• 8:39
  Rob: that
• 8:40
  Rob: line
• 8:40
  Rob: drawing
• 8:40
  Rob: is
• 8:41
  Rob: so
• 8:41
  Rob: incredibly
• 8:41
  Rob: important
• 8:42
  Rob: because
• 8:42
  Rob: you're
• 8:42
  Rob: shaping
• 8:43
  Rob: that
• 8:44
  Rob: one
• 8:44
  Rob: winner.
• 8:45
  Rob: Take
• 8:45
  Rob: all
• 8:45
  Rob: contest
• 8:47
  Rob: to
• 8:47
  Rob: multi-member
• 8:48
  Rob: districts
• 8:48
  Rob: where
• 8:48
  Rob: you
• 8:48
  Rob: have
• 8:48
  Rob: more
• 8:49
  Rob: than
• 8:49
  Rob: one,
• 8:49
  Rob: you
• 8:49
  Rob: combine
• 8:50
  Rob: districts
• 8:50
  Rob: to
• 8:50
  Rob: make
• 8:51
  Rob: them
• 8:51
  Rob: bigger.
• 8:52
  Rob: And
• 8:52
  Rob: then
• 8:52
  Rob: if
• 8:53
  Rob: you
• 8:53
  Rob: use
• 8:53
  Rob: proportional
• 8:53
  Rob: rank
• 8:54
  Rob: choice
• 8:54
  Rob: voting,
• 8:54
  Rob: which
• 8:54
  Rob: the
• 8:54
  Rob: ballot
• 8:55
  Rob: is
• 8:55
  Rob: just
• 8:55
  Rob: like
• 8:55
  Rob: rank
• 8:55
  Rob: choice,
• 8:56
  Rob: voting,
• 8:56
  Rob: very
• 8:56
  Rob: simple,
• 8:57
  Rob: very
• 8:57
  Rob: intuitive.
• 8:58
  Rob: It's
• 8:58
  Rob: who's
• 8:58
  Rob: my
• 8:58
  Rob: first
• 8:59
  Rob: choice?
• 8:59
  Rob: Who's
• 8:59
  Rob: my
• 8:59
  Rob: second
• 9:00
  Rob: choice?
• 9:00
  Rob: Who's
• 9:00
  Rob: my
• 9:00
  Rob: third
• 9:01
  Rob: choice?
• 9:02
  Rob: Ah,
• 9:02
  Rob: I
• 9:02
  Rob: don't
• 9:02
  Rob: wanna
• 9:02
  Rob: rank
• 9:02
  Rob: anybody
• 9:03
  Rob: else.
• 9:03
  Rob: You.
• 9:03
  Rob: It's
• 9:03
  Rob: totally
• 9:04
  Rob: up
• 9:04
  Rob: to
• 9:04
  Rob: you.
• 9:04
  Rob: You
• 9:05
  Rob: can
• 9:05
  Rob: rank
• 9:05
  Rob: within
• 9:05
  Rob: a
• 9:06
  Rob: party.
• 9:06
  Rob: You
• 9:06
  Rob: don't
• 9:06
  Rob: have
• 9:06
  Rob: to
• 9:07
  Rob: rank
• 9:07
  Rob: within
• 9:07
  Rob: a
• 9:07
  Rob: party.
• 9:07
  Rob: You
• 9:07
  Rob: have
• 9:08
  Rob: a
• 9:08
  Rob: lot
• 9:08
  Rob: of
• 9:08
  Rob: power
• 9:09
  Rob: as
• 9:09
  Rob: a
• 9:09
  Rob: voter
• 9:09
  Rob: to
• 9:09
  Rob: define
• 9:10
  Rob: what
• 9:10
  Rob: matters
• 9:10
  Rob: to
• 9:10
  Rob: you.
• 9:11
  Rob: But
• 9:11
  Rob: let's
• 9:12
  Rob: look
• 9:12
  Rob: about
• 9:12
  Rob: it
• 9:12
  Rob: from
• 9:13
  Rob: a
• 9:13
  Rob: partisan
• 9:13
  Rob: lens,
• 9:14
  Rob: is
• 9:15
  Rob: that
• 9:15
  Rob: the
• 9:15
  Rob: math
• 9:15
  Rob: of
• 9:15
  Rob: how
• 9:16
  Rob: to
• 9:16
  Rob: win
• 9:16
  Rob: changes
• 9:17
  Rob: from
• 9:17
  Rob: needing
• 9:17
  Rob: more
• 9:18
  Rob: than
• 9:18
  Rob: 50%
• 9:18
  Rob: of
• 9:18
  Rob: the
• 9:18
  Rob: vote
• 9:19
  Rob: to
• 9:20
  Rob: a
• 9:20
  Rob: proportion
• 9:20
  Rob: of
• 9:21
  Rob: the
• 9:21
  Rob: multi-member
• 9:21
  Rob: district.
• 9:22
  Rob: So
• 9:22
  Rob: if
• 9:22
  Rob: it's
• 9:22
  Rob: a
• 9:22
  Rob: three
• 9:23
  Rob: seats,
• 9:23
  Rob: the
• 9:24
  Rob: math
• 9:24
  Rob: means
• 9:24
  Rob: a
• 9:24
  Rob: little
• 9:25
  Rob: over
• 9:25
  Rob: a
• 9:25
  Rob: quarter
• 9:25
  Rob: of
• 9:25
  Rob: the
• 9:25
  Rob: vote.
• 9:26
  Rob: Means
• 9:26
  Rob: that
• 9:26
  Rob: you
• 9:27
  Rob: can
• 9:27
  Rob: win,
• 9:28
  Rob: if
• 9:28
  Rob: it's
• 9:28
  Rob: five
• 9:28
  Rob: seats,
• 9:29
  Rob: gets
• 9:29
  Rob: down
• 9:29
  Rob: to
• 9:29
  Rob: about
• 9:30
  Rob: little
• 9:30
  Rob: under
• 9:30
  Rob: 20%,
• 9:31
  Rob: so
• 9:31
  Rob: you
• 9:31
  Rob: know
• 9:32
  Rob: 17%
• 9:33
  Rob: and
• 9:34
  Rob: it's
• 9:34
  Rob: still
• 9:34
  Rob: ranked
• 9:34
  Rob: as
• 9:34
  Rob: voting.
• 9:35
  Rob: So
• 9:35
  Rob: if
• 9:35
  Rob: you
• 9:35
  Rob: vote
• 9:35
  Rob: for
• 9:35
  Rob: a
• 9:36
  Rob: candidate
• 9:36
  Rob: who's
• 9:36
  Rob: farther
• 9:37
  Rob: down,
• 9:37
  Rob: it's
• 9:37
  Rob: not
• 9:38
  Rob: gonna
• 9:38
  Rob: win.
• 9:38
  Rob: Your
• 9:39
  Rob: ballot
• 9:39
  Rob: can
• 9:39
  Rob: still
• 9:39
  Rob: count
• 9:40
  Rob: for
• 9:40
  Rob: a
• 9:40
  Rob: second
• 9:40
  Rob: choice.
• 9:41
  Rob: So
• 9:41
  Rob: you
• 9:41
  Rob: put
• 9:42
  Rob: those
• 9:42
  Rob: together
• 9:43
  Rob: and
• 9:43
  Rob: essentially
• 9:44
  Rob: every
• 9:45
  Rob: part
• 9:45
  Rob: of
• 9:45
  Rob: the
• 9:45
  Rob: country,
• 9:46
  Rob: the
• 9:46
  Rob: Fair
• 9:46
  Rob: Representation
• 9:47
  Rob: Act,
• 9:47
  Rob: which
• 9:47
  Rob: is
• 9:47
  Rob: a
• 9:47
  Rob: statutory
• 9:48
  Rob: proposal
• 9:48
  Rob: in
• 9:49
  Rob: Congress,
• 9:50
  Rob: would

  Rob: And
• 13:00
  Rob: that
• 13:01
  Rob: has
• 13:01
  Rob: opened
• 13:01
  Rob: the
• 13:01
  Rob: door
• 13:02
  Rob: toward
• 13:03
  Rob: jurisdictions
• 13:04
  Rob: pushing
• 13:04
  Rob: the
• 13:04
  Rob: boundaries.
• 13:05
  Rob: So
• 13:05
  Rob: you
• 13:05
  Rob: can
• 13:05
  Rob: only
• 13:06
  Rob: stop
• 13:06
  Rob: those
• 13:06
  Rob: practices
• 13:07
  Rob: now
• 13:07
  Rob: within
• 13:08
  Rob: a,
• 13:08
  Rob: with
• 13:08
  Rob: a
• 13:08
  Rob: lawsuit
• 13:08
  Rob: that's
• 13:09
  Rob: expensive
• 13:09
  Rob: to
• 13:09
  Rob: do.
• 13:11
  Rob: And
• 13:11
  Rob: and
• 13:11
  Rob: that,
• 13:12
  Rob: that
• 13:12
  Rob: has
• 13:12
  Rob: had
• 13:13
  Rob: some
• 13:13
  Rob: really
• 13:13
  Rob: ripple
• 13:13
  Rob: effects
• 13:14
  Rob: that
• 13:14
  Rob: are
• 13:14
  Rob: quite
• 13:14
  Rob: negative.
• 13:15
  Rob: We're
• 13:16
  Rob: still
• 13:16
  Rob: seeing,
• 13:17
  Rob: we're
• 13:17
  Rob: not
• 13:17
  Rob: seeing
• 13:18
  Rob: anything
• 13:18
  Rob: like
• 13:18
  Rob: what
• 13:18
  Rob: we
• 13:18
  Rob: saw
• 13:18
  Rob: in
• 13:19
  Rob: the
• 13:19
  Rob: sixties
• 13:19
  Rob: as
• 13:19
  Rob: far
• 13:20
  Rob: as
• 13:20
  Rob: disparate
• 13:21
  Rob: effects
• 13:22
  Rob: for
• 13:22
  Rob: voter
• 13:22
  Rob: registration
• 13:23
  Rob: and
• 13:23
  Rob: voter
• 13:23
  Rob: turnout
• 13:24
  Rob: that
• 13:24
  Rob: we
• 13:24
  Rob: saw
• 13:25
  Rob: at
• 13:25
  Rob: that
• 13:25
  Rob: level.
• 13:26
  Rob: But
• 13:26
  Rob: we're
• 13:26
  Rob: starting
• 13:26
  Rob: to
• 13:26
  Rob: see
• 13:27
  Rob: things
• 13:27
  Rob: chip
• 13:27
  Rob: away
• 13:28
  Rob: and
• 13:28
  Rob: this
• 13:29
  Rob: new
• 13:29
  Rob: Voting
• 13:29
  Rob: Rights
• 13:30
  Rob: Act
• 13:30
  Rob: case
• 13:31
  Rob: that
• 13:31
  Rob: was
• 13:32
  Rob: just
• 13:32
  Rob: heard
• 13:32
  Rob: in
• 13:32
  Rob: the
• 13:32
  Rob: Supreme
• 13:33
  Rob: Court
• 13:33
  Rob: recently,
• 13:34
  Rob: and
• 13:35
  Rob: there's
• 13:35
  Rob: a
• 13:35
  Rob: lot
• 13:35
  Rob: of
• 13:36
  Rob: conjecture
• 13:36
  Rob: about
• 13:37
  Rob: what
• 13:37
  Rob: it
• 13:37
  Rob: might
• 13:37
  Rob: mean,
• 13:38
  Rob: but
• 13:38
  Rob: they
• 13:38
  Rob: might
• 13:38
  Rob: take
• 13:38
  Rob: away.
• 13:40
  Rob: The
• 13:40
  Rob: provision
• 13:41
  Rob: of
• 13:41
  Rob: the
• 13:41
  Rob: Voting
• 13:41
  Rob: Rights
• 13:42
  Rob: Act
• 13:42
  Rob: that
• 13:43
  Rob: is
• 13:43
  Rob: more
• 13:43
  Rob: about
• 13:44
  Rob: representation
• 13:45
  Rob: than
• 13:45
  Rob: about
• 13:45
  Rob: access.
• 13:46
  Rob: And
• 13:46
  Rob: that
• 13:46
  Rob: representation
• 13:47
  Rob: piece
• 13:48
  Rob: is
• 13:49
  Rob: that
• 13:49
  Rob: if
• 13:49
  Rob: there's
• 13:49
  Rob: certain
• 13:50
  Rob: standards,
• 13:50
  Rob: so
• 13:50
  Rob: there's
• 13:51
  Rob: a
• 13:51
  Rob: history,
• 13:51
  Rob: so
• 13:51
  Rob: you
• 13:51
  Rob: have
• 13:51
  Rob: to
• 13:51
  Rob: prove
• 13:52
  Rob: these
• 13:52
  Rob: things.
• 13:52
  Rob: So
• 13:52
  Rob: it's
• 13:52
  Rob: not
• 13:52
  Rob: like
• 13:53
  Rob: you
• 13:53
  Rob: can
• 13:53
  Rob: do
• 13:53
  Rob: this
• 13:53
  Rob: everywhere,
• 13:54
  Rob: but
• 13:54
  Rob: you
• 13:54
  Rob: have
• 13:54
  Rob: to
• 13:54
  Rob: show
• 13:54
  Rob: that
• 13:54
  Rob: there's
• 13:55
  Rob: measurable
• 13:56
  Rob: discrimination
• 13:58
  Rob: or
• 13:58
  Rob: voters
• 13:59
  Rob: factor
• 13:59
  Rob: in
• 13:59
  Rob: race
• 14:00
  Rob: in
• 14:00
  Rob: the
• 14:00
  Rob: way
• 14:00
  Rob: they
• 14:00
  Rob: vote.
• 14:01
  Rob: A
• 14:01
  Rob: racial
• 14:02
  Rob: minority
• 14:02
  Rob: is
• 14:03
  Rob: in
• 14:03
  Rob: the
• 14:03
  Rob: minority,
• 14:03
  Rob: so
• 14:04
  Rob: they're
• 14:04
  Rob: not
• 14:04
  Rob: in
• 14:04
  Rob: the
• 14:04
  Rob: majority,
• 14:05
  Rob: and
• 14:06
  Rob: you
• 14:06
  Rob: put
• 14:06
  Rob: those
• 14:06
  Rob: together,
• 14:07
  Rob: you
• 14:08
  Rob: have
• 14:08
  Rob: a
• 14:08
  Rob: challenging
• 14:09
  Rob: situation
• 14:09
  Rob: for
• 14:10
  Rob: the
• 14:10
  Rob: racial
• 14:10
  Rob: minority
• 14:10
  Rob: to
• 14:10
  Rob: win.
• 14:12
  Rob: And
• 14:13
  Rob: there's
• 14:13
  Rob: a
• 14:13
  Rob: solution.
• 14:14
  Rob: There's
• 14:14
  Rob: a
• 14:14
  Rob: remedy.
• 14:14
  Rob: And
• 14:14
  Rob: the
• 14:14
  Rob: traditional
• 14:15
  Rob: remedy
• 14:16
  Rob: that
• 14:16
  Rob: you
• 14:17
  Rob: can
• 14:17
  Rob: do
• 14:17
  Rob: is
• 14:17
  Rob: to
• 14:18
  Rob: be
• 14:18
  Rob: able
• 14:18
  Rob: to
• 14:18
  Rob: draw
• 14:19
  Rob: a
• 14:19
  Rob: single
• 14:19
  Rob: member
• 14:19
  Rob: district
• 14:20
  Rob: to
• 14:20
  Rob: turn
• 14:20
  Rob: the
• 14:20
  Rob: racial
• 14:21
  Rob: minority
• 14:21
  Rob: into
• 14:22
  Rob: a
• 14:22
  Rob: majority.
• 14:23
  Rob: That
• 14:23
  Rob: part
• 14:24
  Rob: is
• 14:24
  Rob: becoming
• 14:24
  Rob: very
• 14:25
  Rob: much
• 14:25
  Rob: under
• 14:26
  Rob: scrutiny
• 14:26
  Rob: of
• 14:26
  Rob: the
• 14:26
  Rob: majority
• 14:27
  Rob: of
• 14:27
  Rob: the
• 14:27
  Rob: Supreme
• 14:27
  Rob: Court
• 14:28
  Rob: because
• 14:28
  Rob: it
• 14:28
  Rob: is,
• 14:29
  Rob: bringing
• 14:29
  Rob: race
• 14:29
  Rob: right
• 14:30
  Rob: into
• 14:30
  Rob: the
• 14:30
  Rob: process.
• 14:31
  Rob: And
• 14:32
  Rob: they
• 14:32
  Rob: are
• 14:32
  Rob: trying
• 14:32
  Rob: to,
• 14:32
  Rob: there's
• 14:33
  Rob: a
• 14:33
  Rob: majority
• 14:33
  Rob: of
• 14:33
  Rob: the
• 14:33
  Rob: court
• 14:34
  Rob: that's
• 14:34
  Rob: trying
• 14:34
  Rob: to
• 14:34
  Rob: say,
• 14:34
  Rob: Hey,
• 14:35
  Rob: we're,
• 14:35
  Rob: let's
• 14:35
  Rob: move
• 14:35
  Rob: to
• 14:36
  Rob: colorblind
• 14:36
  Rob: worlds.
• 14:37
  Rob: And
• 14:38
  Rob: what
• 14:38
  Rob: as
• 14:38
  Rob: an
• 14:38
  Rob: opportunity
• 14:39
  Rob: remains
• 14:40
  Rob: is
• 14:40
  Rob: that
• 14:41
  Rob: the
• 14:41
  Rob: remedy
• 14:41
  Rob: is
• 14:42
  Rob: a
• 14:42
  Rob: system
• 14:42
  Rob: that's
• 14:42
  Rob: just
• 14:42
  Rob: fair
• 14:43
  Rob: to
• 14:43
  Rob: more
• 14:43
  Rob: people.
• 14:44
  Rob: That
• 14:45
  Rob: lowers
• 14:45
  Rob: the
• 14:45
  Rob: barrier
• 14:46
  Rob: to
• 14:46
  Rob: representation
• 14:47
  Rob: for
• 14:47
  Rob: everybody
• 14:48
  Rob: and
• 14:48
  Rob: voters.
• 14:49
  Rob: It's
• 14:49
  Rob: very
• 14:50
  Rob: voter
• 14:50
  Rob: driven.
• 14:51
  Rob: And
• 14:51
  Rob: you
• 14:51
  Rob: can
• 14:52
  Rob: say
• 14:52
  Rob: there's
• 14:52
  Rob: a
• 14:53
  Rob: history
• 14:53
  Rob: of
• 14:53
  Rob: racial
• 14:53
  Rob: discrimination
• 14:54
  Rob: in
• 14:54
  Rob: how
• 14:54
  Rob: people
• 14:55
  Rob: vote.
• 14:56
  Rob: But
• 14:57
  Rob: we're
• 14:57
  Rob: not
• 14:57
  Rob: saying
• 14:57
  Rob: people
• 14:58
  Rob: are
• 14:58
  Rob: gonna
• 14:58
  Rob: keep
• 14:58
  Rob: voting

• 14:59
  Rob: We're

  Rob: just
• 14:59
  Rob: gonna
• 14:59
  Rob: make
• 15:00
  Rob: sure
• 15:00
  Rob: everyone,
• 15:00
  Rob: including
• 15:01
  Rob: racial
• 15:01
  Rob: minorities
• 15:02
  Rob: have

  Rob: the

  Rob: power
• 15:03
  Rob: to
• 15:03
  Rob: elect
• 15:03
  Rob: someone.
• 15:03
  Rob: I
• 15:03
  Rob: think
• 15:04
  Rob: it's
• 15:04
  Rob: an
• 15:04
  Rob: attractive
• 15:05
  Rob: solution.
• 15:06
  Rob: It
• 15:06
  Rob: may
• 15:07
  Rob: end
• 15:07
  Rob: up

  Rob: the

  Rob: legal

  Rob: one,

  Rob: though

  Rob: there

  Rob: to

  Rob: make
• 15:12
  Rob: that

  Rob: change
• 15:13
  Rob: and

  Rob: that

  Rob: is

  Rob: something
• 15:14
  Rob: that

  Rob: remains
