Evangelicals Explain Their Support for Trump: “I’m Voting for a Leader, Not a Pastor”

At the Road to the Majority conference in Washington, DC, conservative Christians explained why they continue to support President Trump despite his personal behavior. Many attendees expressed the belief that they are not voting for a pastor, but rather for a leader who can effectively govern the country. They acknowledged that everyone has broken the Ten Commandments at some point and emphasized the importance of looking at the bigger picture when it comes to choosing a political leader. This sentiment reflects a common perspective among evangelical voters who prioritize policy outcomes over personal morality when making their voting decisions.

DC Board of Elections Targeted for Allowing Non-Citizens to Vote in Primary

The Washington DC board of elections has been targeted with harassing messages for allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections. While the city only permits non-citizens to participate in local elections, Republicans have seized on this issue to sow doubt in the election results. One caller left a message for the board of elections on 1 May, expressing outrage at the city's decision to allow non-US citizens to vote in local elections. The caller, who did not identify themselves, angrily questioned the board's authority to let "illegals" vote in the nation's capital. The caller went as far as to label the board members as traitors to their own country. The controversy surrounding non-citizens voting in local elections has become a focal point for Republicans looking to undermine the integrity of the electoral process in Washington DC. Despite the city's clear distinction between local and federal elections, the issue has sparked heated debate and criticism. The board of elections, led by executive director Monica Evans, has been on the receiving end of these harassing messages, highlighting the intense emotions and political divisions surrounding the issue of non-citizens voting in local elections.
