  Speaker 1: from the iPhone 17 on and then the 18, all

  Speaker 4: I was 17 years old, and I'm 89. And nobody
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: never polled me.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Well, you can't poll everybody, but there are people. I've
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: been contacted by polls. It's happened.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: Okay, they never contacted me. Okay, that was my first contact.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's just you. I think they just don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: like you. It's just you, personally.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: You know, since I was 17, I voted everything, special elections,
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: everything I voted. But the second question I wanted to

• 4:35
  Speaker 4: primary at my polling site.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Already?
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: When I went to vote, and I went in, you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: and I gave them my card and everything, and they
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: gave me, I'm a Republican. OK, they gave me a ballot.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: And so when I looked at them, like, well, this
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: is the wrong ballot. And they were there. Ain't no
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: Republicans running. I'm like, OK, then I can't vote. And
