"We don’t want to be Venezuela. We don't want to be another country where people don’t trust the elections, where there's really no reason to go vote if you don’t know if the integrity of the elections is good. And I think in these states where you have all these mail-in ballots, where you don't have a photo ID and you don't know for sure who’s voting, and on top of that, you don't even verify signatures. You've got a real problem having any credibility in your elections and that harms democracy."
