With Election Day right around the corner, some conservatives are sounding the alarm about a reported lack of enthusiasm among Christians to vote this election season.
The fears stem from a study published Monday by Arizona Christian University’s Cultural Research Center, which found “that as many as 104 million people of faith are unlikely to vote in this upcoming election — and among those, 32 million self-identified Christians who regularly attend church won’t cast their ballots.” Among the reasons behind these Christians’ lack of civic participation this November are a lack of interest in “politics and elections” and dissatisfaction with “all of the major candidates.”
If those estimates are remotely close to true, the analysis summarized, “the impact bodes more poorly for President Trump’s prospects for reelection than for Mrs. Harris’ effort to succeed Joe Biden.”
With so much at stake this November, Christian organizations are working to galvanize faith-oriented voters to cast ballots this November. One group in particular, however, is setting its sights on chasing the ballots of one denomination that could be crucial in determining which party wins the White House.
Catholics for Catholics (CforC) is a 501(c)(4) organization focused on Catholic voter turnout in seven swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As noted in the ACU study, there are an estimated 19 million adults who “attend a Catholic church” and are unlikely to vote this year.
It’s those types of low-propensity Catholic voters whose ballots the group is chasing ahead
