8. TN is an example of Gerrymandering gone wild.

TN is actually a Centrist State. Republithugs have taken over because of voter fraud and Gerrymandering.

Give us some time - eventually we will overthrow this stupidity.

Just as an example, TN used to have a Dem Majority which voted to get rid of BBV. As a compromise, they decided to let "one more vote" go through because the cost of the new switch from BBV to paper ballots. Surprise, the Repubs won the next vote.

The new Repub legislature voted to stick with BBV and repealed the paper ballot initiative because of "cost issues", and then they Gerrymandered the entire state.

Don't count us out, yet. The people of TN aren't going to put up with this travesty of justice for long.
