TBI Proceeds with McDougal Investigation

The fallout from the politically engineered removal of Darlene McDougal as Sumner County Administrator of Elections continues to mount as the TBI is now proceeding with an investigation.

McDougal was ousted on a party-line vote and the former Treasurer of the Sumner County Republican Party was installed to the taxpayer-funded job on November 15th.

Since that time, the office has been embroiled in scandal as allegations of election tampering have resulted in more politically-charged actions and an investigation into computer records and practices at the Election Commission.

Upon obtaining the job, Lori Atchley acknowledged she received it based on politics, not merit. Since then, she's had to manage an office that's focused not on elections but on handling an onslaught of investigations that have no doubt interrupted the normal course of business.
