The state Senate voted 23-9 today to begin the lengthy process of giving Tennessee voters the say on whether the state attorney general should be popularly elected in 2020, the Chattanooga Times Free Press reports. The resolution now goes to the House. If it receives a majority vote there, it would then go on to be considered by the 110th General Assembly, which will convene in 2017. There it would need a two thirds vote in each chamber before it could go on the ballot.
