I don’t know about you, but for my family, life has been crazy busy the past few months. My wife and I didn’t want to risk missing the opportunity to vote amid our busy schedules, so last week we mailed in our absentee ballots. If you’re also in a busy season of life right now, we encourage you to do the same!
A friend of mine recently said something that resonated with me: “Casting a legal vote any time is better than taking a chance that you might not be able to cast a vote at all.”
You may have heard talk about election interference and voting by mail, but we want to encourage you that a legally cast absentee ballot is not part of that equation. We need every Christian conservative to rise up and vote in this election, whether by mail or in person, if we want to make a difference for families in Wisconsin. All legal votes, regardless of how they are submitted, are counted the same. You can even track your absentee ballot after you mail it to assure it’s been received and counted! Don’t let talk of election interference intimidate you into missing this crucial election!

If your family is in a busy season of life, would you consider locking in your vote early with an absentee ballot?
P.S. Please join us in praying for our country and community every morning at 9:29 a.m. until the election, in recognition of Mark 9:29. In the passage, Jesus speaks about a demon-possessed boy, saying “This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer.” Similarly, we believe our nation and culture are entranced in the spirit of this age, and it can only be driven out by prayer. You can view our prayer calendar here. We hope you’ll take part!
