Conservative Christian churches in California and prominent figures around the United States like activist Charlie Kirk are urging congregations to get involved in ballot gathering or ballot harvesting.
So they’re ballot harvesting? I thought rePUBEicans were against ballot harvesting. Does that mean that 2000 mules was a DIY video instead of false and misleading information?
Boy are they going to be upset when they learn what Dejoy did to USPS processing infrastructure putting mail-in ballot processing at risk. Truly a "leopards ate my face" event here.
Besides the obvious hypocrisy, one thing to get from this is that conservative leaders understand that you need to organize to win elections. Let's make sure they're out organized
I thought that when organizations like ACORN did something like this it was going to be the end of civilization and they had to be taken down with nonsense from the likes of James O'Keefe, for the good of mankind?
Churches are social organizing spaces, they have been involved in politics since the very beginning. As long as they are doing it the right way, by encouraging voting but not voting for a particular candidate, and running voter registration drives, driving people to the polls, that's good. We want more people to vote.
It's not hypocritical to once be skeptical and then learn that something is OK. That's called learning.
I blame people for being obtuse when they were complaining with zero evidence that there was a problem, I don't blame people at all for working legally to increase voting.
Every church I've ever been to has been carefully non-partisan on candidates. It's not just tax status, they don't want to cause parishioners to feel unwelcome because they need the attendance.
I know some churches are being overly political, sure, but I absolutely believe the majority are doing the right thing.

Yeah that's not what's happening. They get a sermon every Sunday about horrible immigrants and the woke agenda. Then at this event they get told to make sure they vote Christian. It's specifically the evangelical churches and mega churches doing this.
