Upset about that pesky little law that
now requires voters to have ID? Well, the Knox County Election
Commission, in a news release sent out yesterday (when I was out of
town), says all you have to do is vote by mail (so long as you're old
enough).
Anyhoo, ya got one week as the deadline to
apply for an absentee by-mail ballot is next Tuesday.
“Tennessee law has changed,” said
Knox County's top election person, Cliff Rodgers. “Any registered
voter 60 years of age or older may apply to vote by mail. You don't
need a doctor's note. You just need to apply.”
Please note that you need to fill out
an “Application for Absentee By Mail Ballot,” which you can
download right smack here. Or, call 215-2480 and someone will mail a
form to you.
Rodgers said they're expecting 200,000
folks to vote in this election, so “don't get caught waiting in
long lines on Election Day.”
Or something.
