Well we saw vote fraud for our for our -- firm with -- -- -- in 2009 and from that point we decided that it was in time for citizens to get involved.

And so we started an effort to encourage people to get involved in the election process and help ensure free and fair elections and the idea spread so how do you do that to actually go to the polling sites what do you do.

Well -- there are so many ways for citizens to get involved you can work at the polls you can help make sure that the U voter rolls are accurate.

70% say -- -- needed to stop illegal voting 26%.

Say they're unnecessary or discourage voting when it comes to having to provide -- -- what do you make of that.

Well -- -- -- absolutely agree that photo voter ID would help improve the overall integrity and accuracy of the process.

But I've I think it's very clear that the American people support it states support it.
