Are you also looking at like non traditional methodologies to reach the non native English speakers?

A lot of the efforts that folks like the electeds have to do is we're on the Facebook groups and we're you know we're channeling the Facebooks, we're channeling the WhatsApp, we're doing the you know most engaged games, we're going to like ethnic media, quote unquote ethnic media as people refer to it.

Can you give me some examples of how we're doing that especially in light of us now for only the second election in a row using utilizing ranked choice voting and what you referred to earlier in that the ballots of people not quite knowing how to use ranked choice voting to their advantage or leverage and getting people that are their value based in those areas seem to be lower.
