Early voting in Davidson County starts today! Great way to avoid long lines. You can vote early now at the Howard Office Building or any one of the satellite locations starting Oct 25th - you don't have to go to your polling place when you vote early!

Georgia's package of new voter restrictions is getting the publicity, but the @BrennanCenter reports the push to restrict voting rights has expanded into 43 state legislatures. Is our democracy in peril? Please join us and @Samar_Ali81 tomorrow to discuss.
