Voting the wrong way is now a criminal act in Tennessee.

Under the new law, state officials can be removed from their positions and charged with a Class E felony if they vote in favor of “sanctuary” policies for immigrants — a practice already prohibited by state law.

Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, was the lone Republican in either chamber to vote against the bill.

“We’re telling an elected official, elected by the people in their district, their county, their city, who pledged to do the best job and obey the Constitution of the United States and the state of Tennessee … you can’t cast a vote,” Gardenhire said. “That, to me, is not part of being a Republican.”
