division of elections

Tennessee continued to hold the GOP line with Senator Alexander's re-election and the filibuster tool is preserved to fight the most egregious liberal legislation.

Like clockwork on the eve of the election, the Tennessee Republican Party is working itself into a state of hysteria over that voter fraud bogeyman.

Perhaps they long for the day when TN was a player in Presidential elections. Perhaps they’re trying to make up for failing to deliver Tennessee for Gore in 2000. Perhaps they’re jealous of all the attention going on in Ohio. Perhaps they want to take away Pennsylvania’s significance by making a grab for Tennessee’s electoral votes. Who knows why they’re doing it.

According to our daily fishwrap , Tennessee’s early voting set a record on Wednesday, with 108,573 people casting ballots statewide. Wednesday was the first day early voting was available here.

We've heard reports that people who mailed in voter registration forms at the last minute haven't been able to verify whether their forms were received and processed.

We asked Knox County Administrator of Elections Greg Mackay about the backlog. He said they have "thousands we are processing, just like four years ago."
