Throughout months of campaign work, Kathy Chambers had never seen a single message pop up through the “contact us” page on the website for the Yes on 3 campaign — the bipartisan effort to urge voters to approve a constitutional amendment prohibiting slavery in Tennessee forever.
But at 8:31 a.m. on Election Day, Chambers — the campaign manager — got an urgent message from Cannon County, about 90 miles northwest of Hamilton County.
“I am a resident of Cannon County. There is incorrect information posted inside the ballot box,” the message said. “Is there a way to report this and get it taken down or changed in the ballot boxes in Cannon Tennessee.”
