There are over 6 million people in the state of TN

Only one sixth of that number voted in the primary this week, Republican and Democratic. We can and must do better. The turnout for the Democratic Primary was atrocious. We can change the course of this state if we get people out to vote. I truly believe that.

Memphis is a huge untapped pool of unregistered & very angry people of color!

I chat with them at grocery store & business phone calls.

None I've spoken to has known that they can register to vote online! Or that DMV will provide free (most cases) photo ID for non-drivers just for voting.

I've called & emailed Dem HQ here several times. No response. 😏
