If the signs and flags remain up while voting is underway for the November 3 national elections, it would violate state laws on electioneering too close to a polling place.
But while the building currently houses a"Trump Shop" and its exterior is draped in signs promoting the president's re-election, Tennessee state law clearly states that such decor would violate laws forbidding campaigning near voting sites.
In a tweet, Hale wrote,"We won't the let Tennessee election authorities get away with this flagrant act of voter intimidation and suppression. We'll fight back, and Lord knows, we'll win—especially on November 3."The Tennessee state statute on electioneering states that all campaign signs must be at least 100 feet away from the entrances of buildings used for voting.
"The display of campaign posters, signs or other campaign materials, distribution of campaign materials, and solicitation of votes for or against any person, political party, or position on a question [closer than 100 feet] are prohibited," the law states. Tennessee law also forbids voters from wearing any apparel advocating for a candidate, issue or party in a polling place on Election Day.Supporters hold up signs during a campaign event for U.S. President Donald Trump at Xtreme Manufacturing on September 13, 2020 in Henderson, Nevada.On Election Day, Hale will face off against Republican incumbent Scott DesJarlais, who defeated his Democratic competitor in the 2018 election by a margin of 63 to 33 percent. DesJarlais assumed his seat in the U.S.
Hale has tried to paint DesJarlais as an unworthy incumbent, but he has so far won four reelections. Tennessee is a red state that voted for Trump by 64 percent in 2016.
