Tennessee Bans Ranked-Choice Voting in State, Local Elections

NASHVILLE, Tenn., March 2, 2022 — The state of Tennessee has banned the use of ranked-choice voting, a method of holding elections that Republicans in the state legislature argued is confusing to most and leads to a lack of confidence in elections.

Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, signed S.B. 1820 into law on Monday, after party line votes on the legislation last month.

On February 14, the state Senate voted 26-4 in favor of the bill, and the state House voted 74-19 in favor of it later the same day.

In a tweet after the vote, Republican State Sen. Brian Kelsey, who sponsored the bill, said the decisive support for the ban was “a win for protecting election integrity and ensuring voter clarity at the ballot box.”

Maybe the folks in the Tennessee legislature are actually paying attention to what is happening in their state.

Nashville is done. Radically Left and never coming back. Again, from earlier Governors wanting to import liberal companies who bring ALL of their liberal employees.

Chattanooga is on the downhill slide, as well, if not already there. And Knoxville is trending that way. Although, they elected the Undertaker for Mayor so maybe he can stop that.

And then you have the small towns like Maryville, Tn

Sadly, Tennessee had a chance to something great a few years ago, but the Governor and AG wanted no part of it, when the legislature sued the feds over healthcare costs for the refugees being settled there by Soetero. Eventually the case was tossed because the Gov and AG didn’t participate, at least that’s what the criminal judge said.

Something like that would never happen in Georgia. Kemp loves refugees and illegals, as he was one of the first to want the Afghan’s.
