I think you have to consider what the real cost incurred would be. If it is a net expenditure of $34 million, you have to consider that a 1% increase in voter turnout would represent approximately 200,000 more voters, but that each additional vote would cost approximately $150. I don't think it's up to us to decide whether that is worth the trouble. It is up to you to make that decision. Are there any other solutions, particularly to attract young people? There are, but would they be more costly or, on the contrary, less costly? That's another question. In my view, you have to evaluate all aspects of the question and ask whether it's worth it to incur a cost of $150 per vote gained.
