00:11I'm Marlee Hornick, the CEO and founder of RealAmerica.Vote.
00:18RealAmerica.Vote is an organization that does auditing of American elections.
00:25We work through the principle of know your voter, which is a corollary to know your customer practices that are
00:33generally instituted among banking institutions and other American corporations to track who they're doing business with and make sure that
00:41they're not being frauded.
00:47And my first paying job was cleaning off the nasty grease in a diner in the center of Amherst, Massachusetts
00:56on the weekends with a bunch of guys who were from UMass.
01:00They were like all something like six, eight.
01:03They were these gigantic dudes who were covered in they were punk rockers and major drug heads.
01:09And they used to come in tripping on, you know, whatever they were tripping on.
01:15And we would clean this diner together.
01:17It was just like a really strange situation, honestly.
01:22I don't actually know why my parents thought that was OK for a 15 year old girl.
01:29Yeah.
01:33And now I really enjoy the work that I do at RealAmerica.Vote.
01:38It's been about six years that I have been leading volunteer or semi-volunteer teams nationally to run these voter
01:49qualification audits on state voter rolls,
01:52to engage with the election administrative state, and hopefully, well, we've always tried to engage in a productive debate, but
02:02it's never actually produced anything.
02:03So now litigation and also criminal referral.
02:07So I would say that those two pursuits have been my most satisfying.
02:15I suppose the real rule that I live by is that if it's worth doing, it's because it's profoundly meaningful
02:25to you, whether that's me or anyone else.
02:29And that's what I'm always most interested in about other people.
02:32And that's what I try to give to the world is the most inner core of who I believe God
02:39made me to be and to share that with the world.
02:42I don't know if that's exactly a rule, but it's just the best answer I can give.
02:52Well, loyalty is really important, but I would say that the quality of integrity and virtue in that integrity is
03:04essential to true friendship.
03:08You have to be true to who you are.
03:11You have to be true to who God made you to be.
03:15And before you can do those things or before you can truly be a friend, you have to accomplish and
03:20achieve those things.
03:21In the meantime, there are lots and lots of people who are great to know.
