According to the Bristol Herald Courier, it is apparently against election law to cross the political lines during primaries. Just because the state does not require you to state your party affiliation does not mean that the primary is completely open. There is a regulation that states if a voters allegiance is in question the polling officials are to check the voters history to determine if they should be allowed to vote in the primary in question. This comes from Tennessee Code 2-7-115(b) (through the BHC…Im not a legal scholar). Though he technically has a point, it seems like that law would be nearly unenforceable, and outright impossible to enforce after the election is over. The hole he is digging keeps getting deeper and deeper.

As of this morning…it looks like Davis is throwing in the towel. Yeeha!!…eventhough Roe will vote along the same line as Davis in Congress. At least we have independent candidates Joel Goodman and James Reeves to vote for in the fall. I personally crossed the line and voted in the democratic primary this year..there was no way I could hold my nose and vote for either one of those neoconservative freaks.
