>> oh, okay.
my question actually is -- is the first thing is who are these election experts?
you know, and where?
where -- where to -- the expenses, that -- these travel expenses, where do they have to go?
why?
and my question original question was who is -- who -- does that include vote rescue?
and if not, why not?
I don't know of any other citizens more devoted to trying to get ahold of our election system and improve it and they come here, you know, vicki carr and -- and that other person, I'm sorry, that -- you know, they put a whole lot of heart and soul into this at no -- at no benefit to them and they just are concerned about this.
so again my question is who?
would they be one of those election experts or -- or --

>> you have some names for mr. Reeferseed?
ms. Dana debeauvoir?

>> she's one that I would consider on the owe.

>> if you hold on one minute we're going to get the answers for you.
who are these three individuals?
one is -- they are coming here to work free of charge, we agree to pick up their expenses, who are they?

>> professor dan wallick is one of the individuals.
I did not bring their names with me.
