Republican voters make their case for and against Donald Trump, agreeing that he's driving the record turnout.

We like to listen to Tennessee voters when it's time to go to the polls, so WPLN has been chatting with those casting ballots early in the primary. Reporters collected voices from Hermitage to Springfield and Clarksville to Murfreesboro.
