Voter registration push relies on social media
Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett is urging everyone to use the hashtag #GoVoteTN on social media in September to encourage others to register to vote. People should have someone take a picture of them holding an “I’m registered to vote. Are you?” sign. Then post it online with the hashtag.
