AND HAPPY TO HELP HIM HOWEVER I CAN.

>> Barry: WE HAD A QUESTION FROM A VIEWER ABOUT -- AND WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT HERE.

BUT THIS VIEWER WAS WONDERING ABOUT ELECTION RELATED BILLS, VOTING BILLS.

THERE'S USUAL AN EFFORT TO TRY TO AT LEAST HAVE SOME BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND WE ONLY HAVE ABOUT A MINUTE LEFT.

ANY BILLS THAT EITHER OF YOU THINK ARE LIKELY TO PASS.

SENATOR DIBBLE, ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT.

>> THERE'S A FAIRLY LARGE BILL THAT HAS A LOT OF ELEMENTS TO IT ABOUT EASING VOTER REGISTRATION, MAKING SURE YOUNG PEOPLE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER TO VOTE.

EVEN BEFORE 18, THEY WILL BECOME REGISTERED AND THEN VOTERS AND 18 YEARS OLD REFORMING A LOT OF OUR CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAWS TO MAKE SURE THOSE PUTTING BIG DOLLARS INTO INFLUENCING OUR ELECTIONS AND OUTCOMES, THERE'S MORE TRANSPARENCY AROUND THAT.

JUST UPHOLDING THE TRADITIONS OF MINNESOTA, VOTING FREE, FAIR, EQUAL, OPEN, ACCESSIBLE AND NOT TRYING TO EXCLUDE PEOPLE AND SEPARATE THEM FROM THEIR ABILITY AND THEIR RIGHT TO VOTE.

>> Barry: SENATOR PRATT, YOUR THOUGHTS VERY QUICKLY.

>> I CERTAINLY HOPE THE DFL THAT'S IN CONTROL DOES LOOK TO DO THIS ON A VERY BIPARTISAN BASIS, BECAUSE THAT HAS BEEN OUR TRADITION.

I THINK WHAT'S BEEN FRUSTRATING FOR ME IS THAT MOST OF THE BIG BILLS THAT WE HAVE TAKEN UP SO FAR HAVE BEEN RUN BY SPECIAL INTERESTS KIND OF BEHIND THE SCENES.

THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF COLLABORATION, NO CONFERENCE COMMITTEES, AND I'M HOPING WE CAN GET BACK TO WORKING TOGETHER AND PUTTING A LEGISLATIVE SPIN
