A group of Christian nationalists will be working the polls across the country this election season.
A group called Lion of Judah, led by self-described Republican opposition researcher Joshua Standifer, is traveling the nation to recruit Christians to key positions of influence in government like Election Workers. The group plans to stop what they believe will be widespread election fraud in November as the first step on the path to victory this Fall.
The Guardian obtained the Lion of Judahs election worker training program, featuring a series called Fight the Fraud: How to Become an Election Worker in 4 Easy Steps! In it, the group asks poll workers to report suspicious activities or irregularities to the Lion of Judahs fraud hotline first, and then tell their local authorities.
To spread the gospel during his Courage Tour, Standifer has traveled with Christian nationalist preachers and pro-Trump figures to sow fear about election fraud in swing states, including Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan.

The T***p/GOP plan is to steal the election. Project 2025 is pretty much the final nail in the coffin of a free and fair election won on the issues, so they're going to pull out their AR-15s and take over the government by force.
And the thing is, the six ultra-conservative members of the SCOTUS will let them do it, happily.

(3,059 posts)How would these "Christians" like another religion being forced on them? Christ NEVER FORCED anyone to a particular religion and these pretend ( power hungry so called Christians) should hang their head in shame holding the name of Christian)
When men had approached Christ and asked Master who do we follow and the response was see their fruits..not a particular religion.
