former U.S. District Court Judge Kevin Sharp agreed with Planned Parenthood
and demanded a recount of the votes. In his ruling, former Judge Sharp
threatened to throw out the votes of those Tennesseans casting a vote on the
Amendment but not having also voted in the 2014 governor's race. Appealed
by the Tennessee Attorney General, the case ultimately made its way to the
U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals which heard oral arguments in August of
2017. The Sixth Circuit issued its unanimous ruling on January 9, 2018, in
support of the vote count saying, "... it is time for uncertainty surrounding the
people’s 2014 approval and ratification of Amendment 1 to be put to

case before the full 6th Circuit which rejected the request. They then asked the
U.S. Supreme Court to take up their challenge of the people's pro-life vote on
Amendment 1. On Monday, October 1, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to
take up the case thereby leaving the lower court's decision in effect and
affirming that Amendment I can go forward.
