STATEMENT FROM THE SUMNER COUNTY ELECTION COMMISSION, JUNE 4, 2024
The Sumner County Grand Jury has indicted 11 persons for voting illegally in Sumner County elections from 2020 to 2022.
Determining who cannot vote by reason of felony conviction, as Tennessee law states, is a matter of state and local cooperation. On a regular basis, the Sumner County Election Commission receives a list of convicted felons from state officials, as well as a list of recent local convictions from the Sumner County Criminal Court Clerk. The Sumner County Election Deputies validate those lists against the names of persons who have voted. When felons are found to have voted—and from time to time, they try—the Election Commission provides that information to the Sumner County District Attorney. That’s been the process for decades.
In this case, the Sumner County Election Commission cooperated with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to double-check names and to provide copies of voting records to investigators. While this matter is before the courts, the Election Commission will provide no further comment.
--Tom Lee, Sumner County Election Commission Attorney
