The 2024 Tennessee Code provides that no precinct-based optical scanners used in a Tennessee election shall have any capability, enabled or disabled, for wireless communication of any sort.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The underlying no-wireless condition for Tennessee precinct-based optical scanners is already in state law, but this source does not show Rose delivered or changed that policy.

Rose did not win the August 6, 2026 Tennessee Republican gubernatorial primary, so he has no governor term in which to execute this state election-administration promise. Tennessee already had a statutory no-wireless rule for precinct-based optical scanners, but the evidence does not show Rose created, sponsored, or materially advanced that protection. With no office win and no shown delivery contribution, this should not be credited as fulfilled.
