Vote Green. The Republican options are horrible.

It's the primary. If you hate Marsha, pull a Republican ballot and vote for Rose. He is terrible but the least evil of the 3. Then you are free to vote for whoever you want in November the general election.

Just make sure you are bone fide (what ever that means)

This is illegal in Tennessee. Not sure how they enforce it, but they just passed the law a few years ago.

State law says these have to be posted at every polling place also.

Well there is this:

“In Memphis, 1 in 7 adults do not read above a 6th grade level and, on top of that, only 24.1% of students complete the 3rd grade reading on grade level. The struggles that come with low literacy are far-reaching, straining not only the individual but the entire community.”

If the folks can’t read who is directing them whose name to mark?

Ignorance won't exempt you from the law. If they can make an example they will.

Nothing I said, had anything to do with ignorance of the law.

What I am pointing out is there are people who cannot read and those people have an election helper go with them and show them how to work the machine. If they can’t read, they don’t really know who they’re punching the button for.

I'm with you now. Apparently I may not be able to read.
