7. I am old enough to remember when we were basically a Democratic state.

Especially Middle TN. My contention is that all these Bozoes were elected (& re-elected) because of these shady electronic voting machines. I agree w/Trump on one thing--elections ARE rigged! Rigged for & by them! Citizens United certainly had helped them win elections & should be overturned, BUT we should be just as active in getting these machines outlawed & go back to paper ballots. The fact that DeJarlais was re-elected is particularly suspicious. Also, we need to investigate the churches using their pulpits to persuade their congregations to vote for a particular candidate (mainly Republicans). We need to gather evidence of this & then have their tax-exempt status revoked. That will clean up that unconstitutional activity real quick! Ok, off my soapbox now.

I'm hoping this review by the Cincinnati 6th Court of Appeals looking at the validity of the abortion ban vote in 2014 will result in a light being shined on our voting processes, not just in TN, but all across the country. Then maybe we can get rid of these "creatures" & elect some decent representation. Keep your fingers crossed!
