A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has put on hold a Nashville judge’s ruling that Tennessee Secretary of State Tre Hargett and State Election Coordinator Mark Goins ran afoul of federal law by not informing thousands of convicted felons that they may still be eligible to vote. The 2020 lawsuit was brought by the Tennessee chapter of the NAACP, the Campaign Legal Center, Brave Hearts and the Nashville-based Baker Donelson law firm. The three-judge panel said it would not be heard at the appellate level before the election. https://bit.ly/3XLU9Tm
