(in my best Georgia accent) "Now that's all very well and good son, and we appreciate your testimony, but Dominion has saved our beautiful state millions upon millions of dollars. We can't let some New York City dog and pony show come into town and tell us how to run elections - and we couldn't afford to throw these machines even if we wanted to.
Now surely if what you're saying is the truth - well that's shocking and deserves to be investigated before the next election. But in my 45 years of public service I've never heard of this 'Article 2' you speak of, and if anyone had come into my office trying to tell me to overturn an election I'd laugh them out of the room. It - it's just unheard of around here. I'm sure you understand. But we do appreciate your testimony today. Hearing adjourned."
