In spite of what you may have read or heard, Republicans want you to register to vote.
Of course, they only want you to register if you’re legally allowed to register, and they’d love for you to vote only for Republicans, but that’s a different story.
Every election, we make use of this space at least one day to talk about voting, how easy it is to register in Tennessee and why we think it’s important.
Voting is our opportunity to have a say in who runs our country, our state, our county, our city and the school board that sets policy for the schools our children attend. What more motivating reasons do we need?
Tuesday was National Voter Registration Day. It did not mean it was the last day to register for the November election, though a press release on the day said these words, false though they were: “Every attack is designed to make voters give up before Election Day.”
