More details to this question:
About 15 years ago, in Tennessee, I was arrested for domestic violence. I plead guilty and was put on probation and had to take anger management courses and pay all fines and fees. Once I completed all that, the judge dismissed the case. Does this still count as a conviction? I would like to know so I can register to vote.

It should not be on your record as a conviction. You should go to tbi.gov and pull a copy of your record. It also sounds lime your case was a misdemeanor. You should also contact your local election commission to confirm your voting status. It may be you can vote now.
