I'm expecting a rally in Athens, TN.

The Battle of Athens (August 1946) was an armed revolt that gained national attention. Attempting to end the control of an entrenched political machine, World War II veterans used force to ensure that on the day of local elections in 1946 every vote "was counted as cast".
