Olsen, sir?
Yeah.
Yes, sir, Mr. President.
Oh, Chuck, with regard, I am going to be leaving at 4.45, right?
And I wondered if you would get the final updated figures and, you know, like the sheet that I've got of all the states.
Just on the presidential, or would you like the presidential?
Well, I think he's getting the others.
I don't know this.
Okay.
I just want to see the presidential updated figures.
The last figures I have are 138.
Is that what you're...
Here, I think that's right.
138, right.
By that time, they should have some more figures, don't you think?
I think we'll have some.
They've been coming every hour.
Most of them should begin to get all... Like you say, you've got...
Idaho, Louisiana, a little out in Michigan.
You've got absentees, which I had forgotten about in some states.
That's got to make quite a difference.
And the absentees have been running heavy for us.
I completely forgot that, but that's a big element in a number of the states.
We may have quite a few that will be straggling in over a week or two.
Ten days, but I will, yes, sir, I'll have the 4 o'clock figures before you go, sir.
Thank you.
