There may be as many as 15 MILLION Christians who are not even registered to vote!!
Here are the most common rationales cited by non-voting Christians:
1) Their particular church denomination tells them they are “citizens of heaven” or “not part of this world” and therefore don’t need to vote;
2) they’re so upset by government corruption they feel contaminated just reading and hearing about it;
3) they believe God will determine who leads America without their help;
4) they believe church and state should be “separate”;
5) they believe their focus should be the gospel, not politics; and finally, perhaps underlying all these reasons,
6) they’ve given up hope of any good ever coming out of Washington, regardless of who is elected. Indeed, many non-voters are so disillusioned by the lies and hypocrisy dominating politics that they have given up hope and walked away.
Ronald Regan asked before he beat Carter:
“Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago?
“Is America as respected throughout the world as it was? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we’re as strong as we were four years ago?”
Today, as we think back just two years ago, I believe the answer to all those questions is a resounding “NO!” (Gary Bauer, American Values)

IF Christians really want to see change, then they MUST vote. Yes, there will no doubt be election corruption in the November election (and every other election) but if ALL Christians vote, there is a good chance of corruption at the polls being defeated.
I will go as far to say if you as a Christian do not vote when you are able to, then you are a part of the problem with politics today.
Want to see America return to what it use to be?
THEN VOTE!
