East Tennessee’s Rep. Tim Burchett stood with Sen. Marsha Blackburn on Monday evening for one last push before Election Day. “Tomorrow’s the day. Let’s make history, Tennessee,” Burchett wrote. “I’d be honored to have your vote and @VoteMarsha would too.”
“I can’t tell you how important it is to get out the vote,” Burchett said in the video, calling her “Governor Marsha Blackburn.” “Please, Tuesday, folks, go vote. Go stand in line, get out there and vote. If they close the polls and you’re still in line, they’ve got to let you vote. This race is for all the marbles, folks.”
Blackburn had a job for everyone watching. “Make certain that you’re calling 10 of your friends. Get them to the polls,” she said, asking them to vote for Burchett and for her for governor. Earlier, she thanked President Trump: “Tennessee, get out and vote RED tomorrow! #GoVoteTN”
Earlier Monday, Blackburn and Sen. Bill Hagerty joined FBI Director Kash Patel, Rep. Matt Van Epps and TBI Director David Rausch with Tennessee law enforcement. Patel said Tennessee crime is down 16 points, the biggest drop in the nation by population. He said Nashville violent crime is down 17% and Memphis crime is at a 25-year low.
Polls open Tuesday, Nov. 3. Voters must bring a valid photo ID. Polling locations and sample ballots are at GoVoteTN.gov.
