Democrats in Hickman County
614 neighbors already voted with you. Almost none of you are connected.
They are on your street, at your kids' school, in line at your grocery store. None of it adds up to anything yet. That is a solvable problem, and it starts with one person deciding to be findable.

#52 of 92
You voted. 11,986 registered people around you did not. The counties above you are not more Democratic — they are better organized.
Counties your size, ranked by turnout3
The counties closest to Hickman in registered voters. Shading is Democratic vote share; Hickman is outlined in gold.
Scott County is about your size and turned out 37.2%. Catching them takes 1,913 more ballots from Hickman County — spread across enough neighborhoods, that is 34 more voters per adopted block, or a couple of afternoons each. One of those blocks could be yours.
You already did the hard part
You voted in a primary most people skip. The next step is about half an hour a week, and it moves a lot more votes than your own.
People listen to people they know
Nobody changes their plans because of a mailer from a stranger. On your own street, you are the most convincing person there is.
You get a group out of it
The people doing this in Hickman County are worth knowing — they walk dogs, run early, swim, garden, trade tomatoes, watch each other's kids. You end up with a group that shows up for each other. Better representation is what falls out of that.

For comparison: 4,058 people voted in the last primary here — 25.3% of everyone registered, and 15.1% of them voted Democratic.
What that actually changes
These are the seats close enough for a few thousand votes to decide:
- Your state house and state senate seats — the people who vote on school funding, road money, and whether your hospital stays open.
- County commission — the local budget, what gets built, who gets hired.
- The offices that run elections here, including how easy it is to vote.
If counties like yours did the same thing, that adds up to roughly 2,596 votes across the state — enough to matter in the legislature. If it spread further, closer to 7,047.
If it feels like you are outnumbered here, you are not wrong — and you are also not alone. Places like this move slowly and then all at once.

Why it does not stop at your county line
Nobody does this alone. The same half hour a week, in enough places, is what changes who runs the state.

What a week of this looks like
Half an hour, broken up however it fits around work and kids:
- Say hello to 6 neighbors. Coffee, the dog walk, the driveway — whatever you already do.
- Mention to 3 of them that you vote, and why you care about something local.
- Ask 2 people to come along to something — a meeting, a cookout, a cleanup.
Do that most weeks and you are making sure your street votes. There is no other test.

Read this before you give
- Who runs this. TheDems.org is built and run by one named person, Tim Gaull. There is no company behind it yet — the first $500 raised files one, and that milestone is published like every other.
- Not tax-deductible. Your contribution is not a charitable donation and is not tax-deductible.
- Not political money. Nothing you give here goes to any candidate, campaign, or party. It pays for the infrastructure line items published on the costs page.
- Counted in public. Every payment is added to its state’s public running total the moment it clears — itemized on the public ledger — and a receipt goes to your email.
- If this ever ends. If the project winds down, remaining funds after obligations go to Global GAIN, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building the democracy workforce.

Who is buying ads that reach Hickman
22 groups have bought air time on stations heard here
11 of 22 say who runs them.
11 groups do not.
Wider than the county: in TN-05 it is 17 of 35. A district covers every county it touches, so those numbers reach past Hickman — and they are counts, never totals to add together.
These are groups on stations whose signal reaches Hickman — not money spent here. One station covers many counties, so the same buy reaches many places at once. That is why there is no dollar figure on this panel: a per-county total would count the same money over and over.

How Hickman publishes its results
Not machine-readable
The county's election website did not answer an automated request.
We asked and got: HTTP 404. A person with a browser may well be able to read this page — automated collection cannot.
This describes what our software could read on 2026-08-13 — not how well the county is doing its job. Publishing a scan or a paper-style report is lawful; we have found no Tennessee law requiring any particular format. Across the 95 counties: 20 collected automatically, 1 readable but not yet collected, 22 not machine-readable, and 52 we have not confirmed either way.

Know where Hickman posts its results?
Send us the link and we’ll check it on the spot — whether our software can read it, or it turns out to be a scan someone still has to type in. Either way you’ll know right away, and nothing goes on the page without a person confirming it first.
This county needs a person
Until a computer can read Hickman’s results, someone has to carry them across by hand. It is not a technical job and it is not a big one: after an election you copy the numbers Hickman has already published and link to where you got them. A few times a year, an hour at a time.
Who chooses the people who run this office? Not your county.
Most people assume county elections are run by people the county picked. In Tennessee they are not, and the arrangement is written into the law rather than hidden in it.
- The Administrator of Elections above runs the office day to day and executes every election. The five-member county election commission hires them.
- Those five are not elected locally. They are appointed by the State Election Commission, on the first Monday in April of odd-numbered years.
- The State Election Commission has seven members and is the only commission in Tennessee state government elected entirely by the General Assembly.
- The statute allocates the seats by party: the party holding the most seats in the General Assembly gets four of the seven state commissioners, and three of the five commissioners in every one of the 95 counties. The other party gets the rest.
So the two things a resident can actually move are further away than they look, and they are different levers:
- The money is local. Your county commission appropriates this office’s budget each year, and can raise the administrator’s salary above the state minimum. When an office is simply under-resourced, that is the ballot line that changes it.
- The appointments are not. They run through the legislators you send to Nashville, because the General Assembly elects the commission that appoints your county’s.
Every statement here is from Tennessee Code § 2-12-201 and § 2-12-103, the Secretary of State’s description of the State Election Commission, and the UT County Technical Assistance Service on county appropriations. It describes how the law allocates these offices. It is not a claim about anyone’s conduct.

- Per-county results for state and federal races: the Tennessee Secretary of State’s own county breakdown for each race, ingested race by race — candidate, party, votes and precincts completed, for every county that race appeared in.
- County and municipal offices and ballot measures: the county’s OWN election commission, which is the only place they are published — the state dashboard carries no county offices at all. Every county publishes in whatever format it chose, so these are read one format at a time: a county’s results feed where it has one, the report its vote-counting equipment prints where it does not, and a neighbour who types the numbers in and links the page they came from where no computer can read it. Where a county has not been ingested yet, this page says so plainly and points to how to help, rather than showing nothing or implying it held no county elections.
- When these numbers were counted: each county’s report carries its own printed date and time, and that is the one shown here — not when we fetched it. Counties keep counting after election night as provisional ballots are decided and mailed ballots are cured, and they republish at the same address when they do. So a figure can go up days later, and results stay unofficial until the county election commission certifies them.
