“As states make voting easier during the pandemic, Tennessee is moving in the other direction”

CNN:

While several other states are expanding mail-in voting, several moves in Tennessee are actually restricting the right to vote in the Volunteer State.

A recent Tennessee Supreme Court decision ruled that the state does not need to further expand access to mail-in voting, overturning a lower court ruling that would have allowed all eligible voters to vote via absentee ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In the same month, Tennessee passed a law that would charge protesters camping on state property with a felony, which would cause those convicted of the felony to lose their right to vote.
