Nearly a dozen Tennesseans were arrested after allegedly voting illegally, according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
In late January, TBI agents began investigating reports of 15 felons unlawfully voting in Sumner County elections between 2020 and 2022, according to a TBI media release. Felons aren’t allowed to legally vote in Tennessee.
Agents determined four of the felons died before the start of the investigation.
Agents investigated the remaining 11 people, determining all had been convicted of at least one felony and registered to vote in Sumner County after their convictions. The felons completed documents that included language indicating they had not been convicted of a felony.
