So, with respect to this, presidential election, if you reference, page 5 of the testimony and excuse the large font, but it's necessary for me to be able to effectively get through it.
0:12:44
I did a comparison of the turnout for the presidential, election, in 2024 versus, 20, 20.
0:12:53
What you would note, I I think, most notably, is that we actually have had a decrease of approximately 200,000 voters in the city of New York.
0:13:03
So, yes, the aggregate turnout is lower, but the aggregate number of eligible voters is also lower.
0:13:09
And the turnout is, a little bit lower from 62, down to 59.
0:13:14
So we we had comparable turnout.
0:13:16
We did see that there was, a robust, turnout in early voting.
0:13:22
We weren't tracking early voting versus, versus election day scanner numbers in 2020, we are now.
0:13:30
So we, those numbers were readily available.
