mr. osmond is a former colleague of mine at conservatory. it is like old home week for me.l allow him to explain the environmental impact and savings on this. frankly, there is going to be tremendous potential for taxpayer savings on this. there is a lot of redundancy in the ballots with people getting vote by mail and then the sample ballot. i want to address a very narrow focus. i appreciate that the supervisor's staff has discussed about an issue the election commission has been concerned about. this is the fact that people would have to get their e-mails to have this work. there is an issue in that in the california elections code -- it is very broad. anybody has access to this, even though they say it is restricted. anybody who wants to contact somebody for political purposes has access to the voter data base in san francisco, which is available for 75 cents. it is a major reason why people do not provide phone number and e-mail contact information on a voter registration card. the fact that it is optional speaks to the fact that this would happen if it was mandatory.

mr. osmond, epps o explain to our viewers what your client went through so they can understand what is atrested for driving without a license. and was attacken to the metro nashville jail which is supervised by the sheriff here in nashville. after she had been in jail for two days, awaiting her day in court, on the driver's license charge, she went in to labor. her water broke. she was taken to the jail infirmary and then put in an ambulance and taken to metro general hospital. there she was ordered shackled while she was in labor, while she was having contractions. and during the trial she testified about how she was afraid for the safety of her baby. she thought that maybe her baby would even be choked as the delivery was about to take place. she didn't know what to expect. she didn't know what was going to happen. >> what do you mean, choked by whom? >> choked by the fact that she was restrained and her movements were restrained and that she did not have free movement of her legs to achieve the separation she felt she needed in order to have a safe sglirt her legs were shackled? >> yes
