And here is a view of the partisanship of each precinct. The most conservative districts went for @rickcpd201. Anderson County conservatives had enough of John Ragan's nonsense and wanted new focused leadership. That's what Rick Scarbrough will deliver.

Rep. John Ragan was 1 of 2 GOP State Reps to lose their fight for reelection on Thursday. Rick Scarbrough, a former Clinton police chief, ran a typical campaign with a focus on being a calm voice, a major contrast to Ragan's firebrand history and litany of far-right bills.

[Jack Minor Jr. @jackminorjr]

Building on this, here are the number of Republican voters in each precinct. Of the 22, @rickcpd201 won 6 of the most 7 precincts with the highest number of Republican votes.

The lowest 8 – all of which have under 500 Republican voters? Ragan won 6.

Sad for a number of reasons, but why would a Google image search for "Nashville" yield this as the first result?

Awful to see school districts doubling-down on educational red-lining instead of opening their doors to #schoolchoice

41.8% of the MNPS student population is deemed economically disadvantaged.

For Tennessee public charter school students that number is 60%.

Regardless, education that fails to help 2 in 3 kids read at grade level is a travesty. Statewide that represents about 700,000 students.
