Judd- Thank you for investigating this important issue. You started something that is very important. Let’s hope the Tennessee papers stay on top of this. It is ridiculous for Sexton to assert that he lives in Crossville when his child attends school in Nashville.

Are we seeing the arc of the moral universe bending, ever so slowly? Thank you Judd Legum- I hope the Tennessee media keeps on this.

Boom! Investigative journalism makes a difference!

This is why I, a construction worker from England, subscribe to PI. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Judd gets results!

Hey Speaker Sexton! Ask for whom the bell tolls.

Because I'm not a nice person, what does Tennessee law say about voter registration?

Because --

1. If he's registered in Crossville and votes in Crossville while he's living in Nashville, is that fraud?

2. His wife signed paperwork to get him on the ballot except she definitely is living in Nashville full time. Is she a legitimate Crossville voter?

And if not, did she commit perjury by lying about her residency on legal documents?

3. I believe he has older kids living at home -- where are they registered?

4. If Tennessee is like Maryland, your state taxes are lower depending on which county you live in. Which county did Sexton use?

I can see why Republicans think voter fraud is everywhere -- so many of them are guilty of it.

Great reporting. I have enjoyed every story. Often chuckling "Aha!" as the facts rolled out! Sexton is very unrepentant. His constituents need to have a recall election.

Keep up the good work!

Imagine that. A lying politician. I’m shocked. 🤔😏

Another pat on the back too, Jud. I read your interview with Substack Aaron Rapture and his fellow team mate Thor. Have also seen your coverage of this and Ron DeSantis in other Substacks

and news articles. Excellent!

Keep up the good work.👍🌦

And what about your mention in your first investigation of him not paying his property taxes in Crossville for two years? That’s pretty damning evidence IMO.

The rules don’t apply to Sexton, clearly. Should we send the m-fkr thoughts and prayers for his inconvenience?

Sexton "asserts" = Sexton LIES

Great investigation!

So very gratifying to read about the spotlight being put on this self-righteous hypocrite. How about some decorum, Speaker Sexton?? Knox County Tennessee resident and voter asking!

His daughter enrolled in a Nashville school has to mean he spends more time in Nashville than Crossville. That would show residency I would think. Not sure why legal advice didn't touch on that aspect of the matter.

There’s lots of “opinion” out there these days. It belongs on the “Opinion” page and should always be labeled as such. Good investigative work as done by Popular Information is fact-based and belongs on the “Front” page! Investigative journalism which is thorough and truthful is becoming a rarity these days and in these times the public desperately needs it.
