maria: well, you heard what darryl issa said earlier, where basically there are areas where you're allowingg 17 days after the election. what is that about? why would you allow voting 17 days after an election? >> i don't think that occur anywhere. those ballots have to be postmarked the day of the election and in most cases they have to -- and so they cannot be 17 days. i think he's referring to counting. it does take extra days to count the mail-in ballots because they can't be postmarked on the day of the election. and so that is obviously a concern. i know in california our elections are not over for several days. in fact, a cup can he'll of them -- a couple of them even a month after the election as ballots arrive. also ballots arrive from overseas. the u.s. military has been voting by mail for years and those ballots always arrive late. maria: that's interesting you say overseas. that's another issue. go ahead. >> well, i was going to say, the other concern in addition to the 17 days after the election is that anyone can go collect those ballots in unlimited numbers of ballots. maria:
