Tennessee Democrats are investigating postcards allegedly sent to voters with an incorrect date for the upcoming special election between Democrat Aftyn Behn and Republican Matt Van Epps.

A spokesperson for the Tennessee secretary of state’s office told Newsweek on Wednesday that the office has seen the screenshots of the mailers allegedly sent to voters, but that voters have not contacted them about the matter.

The outcome of the special election could have key implications for control of the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold a 219-213 majority. The resignation of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, in January will bring that to 218-213, and it could get more narrow in the coming months following special elections in more Democratic-leaning districts. If Behn pulls off a victory, it would further shrink the GOP’s majority.

    I hate articles like this. Ever since political science became a subject in school the government has become shambles. It used to be we and us now it’s red vs blue and numbers game. F the two party system. F political science and F Congress for not doing their jobs like it’s supposed to be done.
