		The Tennessee Senate is the upper house of the Tennessee General Assembly, the formal name of the Tennessee state legislature.
		The Tennessee Senate, according to the state constitution of 1870, is composed of 33 members.
		Wilder has traditionally depended on the support of both Republicans and Democrats for his support; therefore the Tennessee Senate is currently organized on a rather bi-partisan basis with members of both parties serving as committee chairs, an unusual situation in a body elected on a partisan basis.

		The State had argued that this was the case, and the Senate was using the standard in the TN Supreme Court case Emery v.
		The Senate, in its wisdom may vote to void an election, but only after it has developed and applied statewide uniform standards that govern which votes will be counted, practicable procedures to implement them, with an orderly mechanism for judicial review of disputed matters that may arise.
		Even if the Senate were to act quickly in establishing rules governing the procedure for throwing out votes, it remains unclear of whether then they can even act according to those standards, since they would NOT have been in effect prior to the election.

	Tennessee Senate Prepares to Debate Pro-Life Constitutional Amendment
		Nashville, TN (LifeNews.com) -- The Tennessee state Senate is preparing to debate a pro-life constitutional amendment that would neutralize a provision in the state constitution that the Tennessee Supreme Court misused to declare an unlimited right to abortion and overturn pro-life laws that limit abortions in the state.
		Earlier, the proposal received approval from a Senate committee, but only after an amendment was added declaring that a right to abortion exists in cases of rape and incest.
