Tennessee’s House Minority Leader Karen Camper has called for an explanation from Secretary of State Tre Hargett regarding over 14,000 voters receiving letters warning them about potential voting issues. The letters, sent out by Tennessee Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins, raised concerns about the recipients’ citizenship status and eligibility to vote. Camper and other Democratic representatives have questioned the necessity and timing of this verification measure, as well as raised allegations of voter intimidation. They have requested an investigation by the state attorney general into the matter. The letter offers a prepaid mailing option for recipients to provide proof of citizenship, such as a passport or birth certificate. The Tennessee Secretary of State’s office has not yet responded to requests for clarification on the issue. This development comes just ahead of the upcoming election, adding further complexity to the voting process in the state. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
