As Nashvillians head to the polls, there’s a good chance they’ll be voting in an entirely different congressional district than they did in 2024, thanks to this spring’s Republican gerrymandering. The new map split Nashville into three districts. @julianneakers.bsky.social breaks it down for you.

The race between Marsha Blackburn and Jerri Green to become Tennessee’s next governor may be in the hands of independent David Hatley. A new poll shows Blackburn with 36% of the vote and Green with 34%. The poll also shows Hatley at 19%, which is worrying Republicans. @nashvillebanner.bsky.social

A University of North Florida poll found that 68% of Florida voters disapprove of data centers being built in their area, including 84% of Democrats and 52% of Republicans. Perhaps most important in numerous closely contested races, 76% of voters with no party affiliation also oppose them.

Early voting starts today in Tennessee. Pretty good line at Blount Co. Library. (Inside about 5x longer than what you see here.) Took us 50 minutes, 40 in line, 10 to vote. Poll workers were passing copies of the constitutional amendments through the line or it would have taken a lot longer.

Tennesseans can now cast their early vote ballots in federal and state races, but sudden redistricting in May has added confusion and complication for voters. Added to that, some of Tennessee's leading federal and state portals still display the old maps. @ejmotycka.bsky.social @nashvillescene.com
