An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
Rainy Afternoon With Politicians
This afternoon, the Mr and I went over to a shindig for a meet and greet with the Tennessee Secretary of State, Tre Hargett.
(Yeah, he’s fuzzy….it’s not your eyes.)
Until a few years ago, I had no idea that states even had Sec of States. 
Unfortunately, as usual, I forgot to take my notepad so I could take notes, so if you are interested in what his job actually entails, you can check out the website.
One thing he brought up was showing a picture ID when going to vote. This is a sticking point with me. You have to show ID to buy Sudafed, but not to use the most important privilege we have…..our vote. Yes, we heard about the complaints that it would be discriminatory to require poor people to show an ID. You know, those same poor folks that have to show proof of residency in order to apply for food stamps and aid to dependent children. Uh huh. I got the impression this fellow would prefer that folks show picture ID when they voted, but I could be wrong.
Vance Dennis, along with his lovely bride, Ashley, and Delores Gresham were also in attendance. We met the mayor of Saltillo…. nice guy, and several ladies from around the area, including a couple of member of the Pickwick Republican Women.
