NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A special FBI team will be in place throughout Election Day focusing on any threats at an Election Day Command Post.

They’ll be looking at all types of scenarios where something could go wrong. That includes election fraud, voter suppression, malicious cyber activity, foreign malign influence and threats to poll workers.

By doing so, they are protecting your right to a fair and safe election.

Officials are asking on top of this that you also stay vigilant and aware of your surroundings on November 5. That means if you see something, say something. Report any suspicious activity to law enforcement.

The FBI in Tennessee encourages voters to report allegations of election fraud and other election abuses directly at 615-232-7500.

Vandy's band of misfits turns heads with 7-1 start

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
