WZTV FOX 17 - Top Stories
FOX NEWS has already declared Mitt Romney the winner in Tennessee. 11 electoral votes are up for grabs here. Voters at one location say they were turned away even though their documents said they were in the right place. A number of voters at the Watkins Community Center in West Nashville found out their names weren't on the list, even though their blue registration cards listed the community center as their voting location. Independent Watchdog Group Tennessee Citizen Action estimates the problem affected hundreds of voters at this location. Many had to stand in line for close to 45 minutes before being told which location they needed to go to. Some, like 92 year old James Wallace, Sr. say the confusion cost them their vote.
"I'm through with it now," says Wallace. "I'm going to get some information and I'm going to get with a lawyer and get some information to see how come I got moved from 14th Avenue to voting over here to Kayne Avenue. That's over in South Nashville, that's over on South Street."
The Election Official in charge at that community center says a location change was made in August and those voters should have received a notice in the mail. However, none of the voters who spoke to FOX17 said they ever received that notice. Right now FOX NEWS says it's a dead heat, with Mitt Romney winning 154 electoral votes and Barack Obama with 153.

Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert at country fest
May 24, 2013 18:26 GMT
By CHEVEL JOHNSON Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The sounds of country music take over the City of Baton Rouge as the Bayou Country Superfest brings some of the genre's biggest names to LSU's Tiger Stadium for a Memorial Day holiday jamfest.
Headlining Saturday are Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Aaron Lewis, the former frontman for rock band Staind. The two-day festival concludes Sunday with performances by Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
Festival producer Quint Davis says the talent and free fan fest held before the nightly concerts help to entice attendees. In its fourth year, the festival drew 75,000 people last year.
Visit Baton Rouge executive vice president Renee Areng says Superfest has encouraged people to travel to Baton Rouge on a traditionally sleepy weekend.
