NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Early voting is getting underway for Tennessee's primary election that features tea party-style challenges to Lamar Alexander's bid for the Republican nomination to a third term in the U.S. Senate.
Alexander is looking to avoid an upset from state Rep. Joe Carr of Murfreesboro or Memphis physician and radio station owner George Flinn. Carr has sought to consolidate tea party support, while Flinn has given $1.8 million of his own money into his final push.
The GOP primary in the 4th Congressional District pits embattled U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais against state Sen. Jim Tracy, who has outraised the incumbent. DesJarlais, a Jasper physician before his election, is seeking a third term.

Has the GOPe in Tennessee reached out to the democrats like they did in Mississippi.
I don’t expect it but I would love to see Lamar sent packing with his red flannel shirt.
Go Joe go!
They will keep voting until the RINO wins.
bttt
OK, this Flinn guy is making an all-out effort in the Senate Primary in TN. So, it’s a 3-way race. Does TN require a 50% +1 vote total to win, otherwise there is a run-off, or is it simply won by a plurality?
I have Pulmonary Fibrosis. Last stages. Grateful that I made it to be able to vote in TN
"Me! Me! I wanna run! It's my turn!"
No run off that I can remember.
TN means Lamar! People just don’t know any better.
I don’t think TN or KY too has ever had runoffs. The only runoffs are in a tier of states from OK-TX to SC, excluding FL.
TN sent Davy Crockett packing and won’t make that mistake again with their Lamar!
Just voted and for Carr at Downtown West.
