Early voting drops 3% statewide as Davidson, Shelby counties see major declines

5. Yeah... I feel that it is because of two things...

One: gerrymandering. They have ruined any chance for voting to be unbiased. Their rigging is a part of why certain people find it difficult to vote and therefore they will not worry about it.

Two: plenty of them want the chaos that reelecting that orange gibbon will bring. It is not looking good for him. But, they cannot vote for a Democrat because of all the programming the rethugs have been subjected to for over 20 years. Therefore, they will sit it out. Hopefully.

The issue is that the first one affects more Democrats than rethugs and the other will affect more rethugs than any others.

Tennessee is like most red states that are under the control of the more radical right wingers. They want control, they want the ability to make themselves richer and they want to take their troubles out on anyone who does not look like them (as well as create theater for their adoring fan base). Yet, Davidson County is basically Nashville, and Nashville is an art town, despite the typical perception of country artists as always being bright 'red'. It is also the state capitol. So, you get quite the mashup of crazy conservatives and frustrated liberals. But, the 'old guard' is tough to displace, especially when the entire electoral process has been corrupted one party to insure that they can stay in power.
