State: Tennessee counties all have updated mail voting info

Tennessee’s elections coordinator says all 95 counties have updated their websites or written materials to reflect a judge’s ruling that every eligible voter can choose to vote by mail during the coronavirus pandemic. Last month, Davidson County Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle ordered Elections Coordinator Mark Goins to tell counties to update their information after plaintiffs attorneys named 20 counties with absentee request forms that didn’t correctly reference COVID-19 as a reason to vote absentee. Those 20 counties displayed updated websites shortly after.
