Dear John, We've been hearing so much lately about fraudulent elections, uncounted ballots, and the dangers of mail-in voting without being able to take much action to help.
AFA Action now highlights 3 ways you can get involved and help make an impact on the fairness of elections.
#1 Sign up to work at the polls.
September 1 is National Poll Worker Recruitment Day, and the Federal Election Commission has put together an entire website to make it easy for you to get more information.
 Amid COVID-19, America is facing a critical shortage of poll workers. Even as many states expand access to vote-by-mail and absentee voting options, millions of Americans will continue to rely on in-person voting to cast a ballot.
Poll workers are critical to the success of an election. Having an adequate number of poll workers to staff polling places on and before Election Day can ensure voters receive the assistance they need at the polls and can help provide a positive and smooth voting experience for all. By signing up to be a poll worker, you can Help America Vote.
#2 Sign up to be a poll watcher.
Most states have unpaid positions called "poll watchers" where people from each party are allowed in the polling place to observe how voting is handled. These poll watchers are essential to both parties and candidates. If you are interested, call your county elections division to find out more.
#3 Pray specifically for all things related to the election.
From the protection of poll workers to the weather and votes for the Godly to turn out to vote, our prayers work. Our friends at Intercessors for America have a great guide on Praying for Elections. Get theirs, or pray on your own each day before the election.
The 2020 Election is one of the more important elections in recent history. We need to make sure we do all we can to make sure not just that everybody votes but also that everyone's vote is counted.
We're encouraging our team to do all three items listed above -- thank you for joining us! |
