“Alluding to Tennessee’s recent voter ID law, the release from the Department of State stated that, based on the most recent numbers, only 31 voters statewide had been forced to vote with a provisional ballot because they had showed up at polls without a state- or federal-issued photo ID. Of those 31 individuals, 16 had already returned with proper ID and had their ballots counted.” The early vote count is now up to 491,575 – nearly one in eight of Tennessee’s registered voters – according to the Secretary of State’s website.
“Droves of voters have taken the opportunity to cast ballots early,” according to reports based on numbers published by Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett.
