I think, you know, the, the point that sh uh, the, the lady that brought up regarding, uh, picking the, the top most that could confuse a lot of people and that may result in votes that may not accurately re reflect or represent what they would want to intend. So I just, I want to pass this on to you and, and through you to the administration to let them know that this is, um, this could be a trap that we don't want to fall into.
