It was 523 3/20 to 524 3/20. My son is watching with me and we don't know what that 3/20th of the vote is? We're trying to research it online and can't find anything.

we have a lot of work to do. Someone has to speak up and rein in these domestic terrorists or a lot of people are going to get hurt or even killed.
