This is incredibly strange to me since there is no actual membership in political parties in Tennessee:
Tennessee law allows, however, for poll watchers to challenge voters if they are "not a bona fide member of political party" they are seeking to vote in.

You can't actually join a Political party in Tennessee. What does "bona fide" mean anyway?
Election Commissioner
What is Jim Ryans, A Roane County Election Commissioner doing wearing candidates T Shirt and holding a candidate sign. How ethical is that?
It is Jim Ryans, what do you
It is Jim Ryans, what do you expect. Remember he OWNED the Kingston Post Office.
Actually, I guess as long as he is outside the 100 foot (I think it is 100) zone he can do it.
I heard that Farmer has been
I heard that Farmer has been walking through the courthouse during early voting and shake hands with people in line to vote. Of course, his office is there, but you would think that during the early voting, he would have to enter and exit through side door and not have any contact with the voters. That seems a little un-ethical to me. Other candidates are not allowed inside any voting places unless they are voting. Like I said, I know he works there, so he would have to go in- just seems like they would restrict his access and not allow him anywhere near the voters.
Heard that
They should have had early voting some other place other than the court house. And..election commissioners should not be openly campaigning for any candidate. It creates the potential to the raising of to many questions concerning the election. It doesn't show good decsions by the commissioners or the candidates they support by being that open. Ryans is the only one I have seen wearing candidateS campaign items.
