Have you heard the news? Approximately 32 million Christians are unlikely to vote in the 2024 presidential election according to new research from evangelical pollster George Barna. That stunning number is not cause for discouragement or hopelessness, but motivation to get out and vote and encourage your friends and family to do the same. Don’t assume your Christian acquaintances will be voting on election day – they may be part of the 32 million Christians who aren’t planning to.

“The research asked people who indicated they were not likely to vote to explain the reasons for that choice. The most common reason, offered by two-thirds of the non-voters (68%), was a lack of interest in politics and elections,” the study explained.

Sadly, too many voters believe not having an interest in politics excuses them from their civic (and moral) duty to vote. The Greek politician Pericles said it best – “Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.” Whether we like it or not, the outcome of this election will impact every part of our daily lives – the prices you pay at the grocery store, the infrastructure in your city, what your kids are taught at school, and more. Even if you aren’t interested in politics, it is still imperative that you cast your vote in this election – because the outcome will impact your life.

At the end of the day, this election is about much more than D.C. politics; it’s about the future of our state and nation, the lives of the unborn, the safety of our communities, the protection of our children from radical gender ideology, the cost of living, and American sovereignty. It’s about standing up for religious liberty and traditional family values. If you’re dissatisfied with the current state of our nation, it’s time to play a part in its reformation.

Whether you vote early or on election day, your vote has power. You can vote early in most municipalities until Friday. Please contact your local clerk for details. If you have an absentee ballot to submit, we recommend personally returning it to your local clerk.

Wisconsin is one of the most critical swing states in the nation; all eyes are on us. Your vote, along with the Christians in your community, has the potential to sway the entire presidential election… think about that.

Please take action this week and contact your friends and family to make sure they are registered to vote and have a plan to make it to the polls on or before election day – you can even forward them this article! If you aren’t registered, you can register to vote on Election Day at your polling place.
