NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A little over two weeks are left before the nation’s race for president comes to Election Day on Tuesday, November 3. Already over 17 million (and counting) Americans, in 44 states, have cast their votes early, or by mail. Tennessee joined that list on Wednesday with two weeks of what is expected to be record early balloting beginning. In large part due to the virus, a record number of absentee votes are also expected in the Volunteer State. So where do we stand today?

We welcome Republican consultant Chip Saltsman and Democratic analyst Larry Woods.
