NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A special FBI team will be in place throughout Election Day focusing on any threats at an Election Day Command Post.

They’ll be looking at all types of scenarios where something could go wrong. That includes election fraud, voter suppression, malicious cyber activity, foreign malign influence and threats to poll workers.

By doing so, they are protecting your right to a fair and safe election.

Officials are asking on top of this that you also stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings on November 5. That means if you see something, say something. Report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.

The FBI in Tennessee encourages voters to report allegations of election fraud and other election abuses directly at 615-232-7500.

Nashville music school offering lessons for just 50 cents for families with limited income

Music lessons for just 50 cents! A Nashville music school has been providing that to area students for over 40 years including for the city's current mayor. As a child, I always wanted to take piano lessons. I was able to for about 6 months but had to stop due to family finances. I would have loved to have had access to a program like this at the W. O. Smith Music School.
