Tennessee! Pls sign up with @ProtectVotes to photograph precinct results (posted outside polling places > polls close) so we can compare them to official totals to make sure they match. Link to sign up: 6/ https://www.protectourvotes.com/photo-finish-volunteer-sign-up-form/
This election transparency project is called #PhotoFinish and it needs more TN volunteers. 7/
This is what poll tapes look like. You will call your county election board and see if they will be posted outside the polls or if you need to be there at closing to request access to photograph them. 8/
After you photograph the tapes, you will upload them to our uploader as described here. Then Done! 9/
