just to pick up on one point made by clayton bane , it would appear from his announcement that the states of hawaii and alaska , not being in the lower forty-eight , are excluded from voting , so folks if you are watching this broadcast from either of those two states , it now appears that you are exempt sorry to butt in chet , but i have just received information that washington , d.c. has now also fallen victim to the viral attack , and chet turned to alice and raised his left hand up to her face in order to silence her , then raised his right to his earpiece .
