Proposal Would Overhaul Blocked Tennessee Voter Signup Law

Associated Press

   NASHVILLE - Tennessee lawmakers on Wednesday introduced a new proposal
   to amend the state's legally contentious voter-registration
   restrictions that are currently blocked from being enforced during the
   2020 elections.

   Last year, Republican Gov. Bill Lee signed GOP-backed legislation that
   made Tennessee the first state in the country to fine registration
   groups for turning in too many incomplete signup forms. It also
   criminalized intentional infractions of other new rules with
   misdemeanor charges.
