They’re not skeptical of mail-in ballots, they’re skeptical of non conservative mail-in ballots
Tax 'em. They don’t get to have religious exemptions AND be proactively politcal for their own gain.
Religion is a cancer and the ignorant and afraid are its malignant tumors.
Churches are social organizing spaces, they have been involved in politics since the very beginning. As long as they are doing it the right way, by encouraging voting but not voting for a particular candidate, and running voter registration drives, driving people to the polls, that’s good. We want more people to vote.
It’s not hypocritical to once be skeptical and then learn that something is OK. That’s called learning.
I blame people for being obtuse when they were complaining with zero evidence that there was a problem, I don’t blame people at all for working legally to increase voting.

Yeah that’s not what’s happening. They get a sermon every Sunday about horrible immigrants and the woke agenda. Then at this event they get told to make sure they vote Christian. It’s specifically the evangelical churches and mega churches doing this.
And at least one religious college where I live. They were bussing students to polling stations
They often endorse conservative candidates outright or imply who to vote for through heavy social pressure.
Not to diminish from your point, yes absentee ballots are good, just
by encouraging voting but not voting for a particular candidate
You know this isn’t happening.
Every church I’ve ever been to has been carefully non-partisan on candidates. It’s not just tax status, they don’t want to cause parishioners to feel unwelcome because they need the attendance.
I know some churches are being overly political, sure, but I absolutely believe the majority are doing the right thing.
Besides the obvious hypocrisy, one thing to get from this is that conservative leaders understand that you need to organize to win elections. Let’s make sure they’re out organized
Find how to register to vote for where you are
