So and I can't talk about active litigation, Unfortunately, so you know you could.

But as things air filed, of course, those will be publicly accessible.

You have attorneys, they're gonna handle that.

You're bringing in somebody from the outside of who would that be?

I mean, what we've been doing all along with all the litigation that's been flying this year is we have a mix of in house and outside counsel.

Plus, the Attorney General is also representing us in a number of these things.

I have to say the the attorneys just gonna give a shout out to the legal team in the Department of State who have been really put toe work this year, and they're amazing.

But we also have tremendous teams of outside counsel who have been involved in all of this.

We will make sure that every vote is counted.

Every eligible voter has the right to cast their vote.

How many counties are handling ballots coming in Tuesday.

So you can go online to see our guidance.

And then last night, we also gave sort of more technical guidance, technical guidance to the counties, which we could afford to you.

Um, it basically it lays out the process.

You're talking about the late arriving ballots, so everything's gonna be segregated.

I'm not sure if you here yesterday, but the all those ballots will be segregated, but they will be counted.

And three counties have been given detailed instructions, which again you could find in those guidances toe walk them through how to segregate those races.

Can you talk about the order in which those things will be counted?

I mean, are they Is that a county by county decision?

Can we expect to see those numbers being already reflected?

Or is that something that would get you later in the process?

Yeah, they'll get to I mean, so basically, it's going to depend, right?

There's some counties that already done counting their mail and ballots received before eight PM So those they're going to start sooner, but they won't be reflected on the website.

They won't be like intermingled in the website.

As you see it now they will be segregated, so But it is going to vary from county to county when they start because they're working on the other ones.

So, on those segregated ballots, there were 500,000 ballots issued that hadn't been cast as of yesterday.

There were 500,000 mail ballots issued that hadn't been cast as of yesterday.

Is there a way for the state to determine how many of those 500,000 people chose to vote in person instead?

Or do we need to operate under the assumption that all 500,000 could come in before?

So all that will be trackable, but we won't have it today.

So basically, between provisional ballots and the poll books, and then, of course, the mail in ballots.

You know, as you all know, like only one vote can be counted for any voter.

But it will take some time for that data to be quantified.

Your comment was that you didn't know how many mail in ballots had arrived yesterday.

Way know yet how many ballots arrived yesterday?

What is the number of I don't have that with me this morning, but check on check on the dashboard and that will be updated throughout the day.

Hawk keeps raising this point about how ballots that arrived yesterday that can still be counted may not have a allege a bill postmark on them and raising questions about whether or not they should be counted or not.

And I was, he said, because of the prepaid envelopes that state provided.

So anything that arrived yesterday, it doesn't matter whether it's postmarked or not.

Anything arrived yesterday is a valid vote.

That's what Pennsylvania law has always been.

So talking about the late arriving ballots.

So the postmark, first of all, the way we did prepaid postage in Pennsylvania is we went to the counties where they are so if they wanted it to be through their business.

USPS permit We did it that way if they wanted to literally have us reimburse them for stamps or metered postage.

We did, however they want, so some of them are not.

Even I don't remember how many, but we could get you that information.

So it's a tiny fraction of any of those things, whether it's business, reply, male or regular mail.

I mean, we've all had that situation where you get ah, letter and it's not postmarked.

If it is one of those rare occasions, would it be counted?

So under the current under the current Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision, which is currently the law, yes, as long as it's there's no affirmative evidence that it was postmarked after November 3rd as long as it's received by November 6 at 5 p.m. It will be counted.

Yes, It's my understanding that the state's website is showing 18 counties with 0% mail in ballots counted.

If you have any insight into that, so you know what I would suggest?

Sometimes counties are uploading on their own websites and haven't transmitted the file to the Department of State because, you know, they have their own local races.

So I urge you, if you see any and this is what we're gonna be doing throughout the day, go to the county website.
