Many on the Christian Right continue to remain nervous about surveys suggesting that large numbers of evangelicals may not vote in November. Over at the conservative website TownHall.com, a conservative writer named Rachel Alexander is shaming these evangelicals who plan to stay home on Election Day. In a clear attempt to get evangelicals to vote for Trump, Alexander points to all the biblical characters that God still “used” despite their flaws. Trump voters on the Christian Right have been using this argument now for nearly a decade. She concludes: “Shame on those Christians who sit this election out. If Harris wins, all the guaranteed devastations she causes will be on their consciences forever.”

According to George Barna, the number of “people of faith” who do not plan to vote in November is 104 million. Barna’s survey also found that most “Christian churches” are not inviting candidates to speak, registering new voters, recommending candidates, or distributing voter guides. I am still predicting that Trump will get about 80% of the evangelical vote, but that number might be a lot smaller this year than in 2016 or 2020.
