Awkward

Kay Brooks thinks that Mike Stewart’s semi-public hassling of supporters who haven’t yet cast their votes for his state House candidacy may blowback on him:

If Stewart will go this far to get the job—what will he do once he has a job in the legislature with a larger staff and some state authority behind him?

The other story here may be what has been known for a long time–just because people put a sign in their yard doesn’t ensure their vote or support. It’s not unusual for people to allow the sign just to keep the peace in the office, neighborhood or association. Thankfully, the ballot is still private or else they’ll be demanding to see your voting receipt before providing constituent services.

She’s Making A List And She’s Checking It Twice

By Kleinheider Posted on at 11:44 am

Elizabeth MK Sullivan, campaign manager for Mike Stewart, is keeping tabs on who is naughty and who is nice in East Nashville and parts of Green Hills, etc.:

 In an email yesterday to the state House candidate’s backers, Sullivan lists the names of people who have voted early for the August 3 Democratic Primary. I have never seen a campaign do that before. While Sullivan thanks those she listed for showing up at the polls, her message is clear: Turnout is low and we know that some of you have said you’re going to vote for us, but haven’t yet. Don’t think we’re not watching you.
