From the transcript
Again, this is just the presidential election, just one vote— I'm sorry, one candidate, you know, one race on the entire 2024 ballot. And just in this one race, you can see there are 60, over 60 bubbles that voters have to look through. And so if they get a wrong line or if they skip a line, then their ballot can be exhausted. And so what we hear from voters is they feel that this is unnecessarily complex. And it causes a lot of voter fatigue and confusion for them.
