It's voting time in Tennessee; a primary primer

from This Is Nashville Hosted by WPLN News - Nashville Public Radio

Primary elections for governor, the Tennessee State House, and congressional seats are just around the corner, with early voting beginning Friday. That means it’s time to start paying attention — not just to the names on the ballot, but to the races that will shape the state for years to come. Whether you follow politics every day or are afraid to look at your ballot, our goal is to make the election a little easier to understand before you head to the polls. Guests: Marianna Bacallao, state legislative reporter, WPLN Dr. Ian Shapiro, political scientist, Tennessee State University Eli Motycka, reporter, Nashville Scene
