Elections to the right of us, elections to the left, elections up ahead! This week, Scott and Jesse catch up on electoral news in both national and local races. They check in on Tennesseans with speaking slots at the Republican National Convention, survey the state of early voting in the Aug. 1 county general election, and look at some proposals that could — and could not — affect future races here at home. Also, updates on the situation with Benny Smith at WUTK; those controversial voting letters sent to naturalized citizens; and the state's anti-drag show law. Looking ahead, they preview meetings of Knox County Commission and Knoxville City Council.
