Dear George,

"I believe that we are undergoing an important and healthy political-judicial debate about the meaning of this election and the meaning of each individual vote and this issue has not been resolved.

This election is very important and who the next president is very important, but with the evenly divided legislature, it is doubtful that the new president will be able to get much done, at least initially in his administration."
