At the Benton County GOP Summer Picnic, candidates were asked whether they support limiting elections to same day voting, requiring paper ballots, and restricting voting to U.S. citizens, something already mandated under federal law. Matt Van Epps indicated he supports all three.

In practice, supporting “same-day voting” only would sharply reduce voting access by eliminating early voting options many Tennesseans rely on. It would also limit voting to only those who can afford to take time off on the day of the election.

The embrace of paper-only ballots also echoes election-fraud narratives portraying voting machines as unreliable or part of a conspiracy to steal elections. Mike Lindell, get this guy a promo code.
