mr. crossley had talked about on, especially dealing with reduced and in-person early voting. i just wanted to state for the record we did that in georgia, we went from 41 days to 21. the legislation included a mandatory saturday voting which we haven't had before. the reason that the legislature took that up was because the counties were complaining about the cost of having to have three poll workers in the early voting locations. there was hardly anybody coming in those first two or three weeks, and the legislature really listened to them. we had a very strong bipartisan vote in the house, and i think that's important for people to realize. i know as i campaigned around the state in many of our counties, a lot of the election boards, when we go into town and visit with elections office, you'd have the republican member and the democratic member of the election board there, and in many counties they both supported reducing the number of in-person days. we still have -- you can vote 45 days before the election by mail. also on the photo i.d. law, we could probably spend a coup
