A Davidson County chancellor ruled that any Tennessee voter who wishes to vote by mail must be allowed to do so for all remaining 2020 elections. We'll see if the ruling survives appeal.
Anyway, WBIR says: "The Court’s order has taken this important decision away from Tennessee’s state and county election experts and unnecessarily risks voter confusion, potential voter fraud, and election disruption."
Since when are TNGOP/Trump propaganda talking points reported as "news" and/or "fact"?
UPDATE: WBIR has edited the article to attribute the remark to AG Herb Slatery.

Hubris?
These state white guys just can't take it when a woman tells them what to do. I do hope they charge Hargett for disobeying a judicial order. Tennessee needs to learn it's not all powerful.
