Many of us were taught to avoid conversational topics like Politics and Religion.  I fear that teaching has played a significant role in bringing us to where we are in our culture today; the boiling point! Maybe instead of being taught to “avoid”, we should have been taught “how to”; how to have conversations about such topics, granting respect and honor to those with whom we might disagree. And though, I know I enter “shark infested waters”; I believe the LORD has led me to talk about both Politics and Religion in this Sunday's message of our ongoing study of the HOLY SPIRIT! In this message, Pastor Joe Still leads us as we explore how THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME TO GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH…EVEN IN THE VOTING BOOTH!

Voting according to your faith values. We all do it. Yes, even an atheist. And that's one of big the problems with political polls and surveys measuring how much impact faith has on elections. They are based on the notion of institutional religion. But religion is not confined to a denomination or doctrine or congregation. Religion in its larger sense answers the big questions of life: "Why am I here? What's the purpose of my life? How do I treat people?" Morality and purpose. The answers to these questions, said one theologian, are at least implicitly religious because the answers have to be taken on faith, there is no scientific proof. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, Jason Yates, president of My Faith Votes, explains the work ahead as his non-partisan organization endeavors to educate Christians about keeping a biblical worldview in the public square, not to be stymied by the demonization of Christianity which has grown larger and larger with the vitriol around "Christian Nationalism". Yates says, "They're trying to demoralize and shame, those of any beliefs that come against what they stand for... Too many people of faith have created a void and believe that lie that they should not be involved in the process... As a result, secular humanistic values and beliefs policies filled the void."

This week on CounterSpin: Steven Rosenfeld reports on election transparency, among other electoral issues, for Voting Booth. We hear from him about kinds of election interference we ignore at our peril. Some elite media-designated “smart people” have determined, “Citizens United, what? It's folks who give ten bucks to a candidate that are really messing up the system.” We explore that notion with Ian Vandewalker, senior counsel for the Elections & Government Program at the Brennan Center for Justice.   The post Steven Rosenfeld on Election Transparency / Ian Vandewalker on Small Donors appeared first on KPFA.

The topic of this episode is, "what is Congress' role in a contingent presidential election?"Two centuries ago, America had a contingent presidential election. No candidate got a majority of votes, and thus it fell to Congress to decide who got to be president. Might the United States have another contingent election? Certainly it is possible. Four of the past six presidential elections have been very close. In 2020, had 44,000 voters in Georgia, Arizona and Wisconsin picked Trump instead of Biden we would have had a tied election, with each candidate receiving 269 electoral votes.So what is Congress's role in a contingent election? How does that work? To answer these questions I have with me my colleague, Dr. John Fortier. He is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he studies Congress and elections, election administration, election demographics, voting, and more. John is the coauthor of the books After the People Vote: A Guide to the Electoral College (AEI Press, 2020) and Absentee and Early Voting: Trends, Promises, and Perils (AEI Press, 2006). John also hosts The Voting Booth podcast.Kevin Kosar:Welcome to Understanding Congress, a podcast about the first branch of government. Congress is a notoriously complex institution, and few Americans think well of it. But Congress is essential to our republic. It is a place where our pluralistic society is supposed to work out its differences and come to agreement about what our laws should be.And that is why we are here: to discuss our national legislature and to think about ways to upgrade it so it can better serve our nation. I am your host, Kevin Kosar, and I'm a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank in Washington DC.John, welcome to the podcast.John Fortier:Thank you, Kevin. Pleasure to be here.Kevin Kosar:Let's start with a simple question. Why must a presidential candidate get 270 electoral votes in order to become the president?John Fortier:There's a short answer and a long answer. The short answer is that 270 is a majority of the electors that are possible to be cast.The longer answer is that there was a debate in the Constitutional Convention about how to elect the president, but it came sort of late in the process. And I would say the first thing that they needed to decide is what did Congress look like? And there were all sorts of debates and back and forth before a compromise was reached where essentially the House of Representatives was one that represented the people more broadly. The states would have a number of House representatives based on their population and the Senate would be equal in the states.Now when coming to the Electoral College—figuring out how to elect the president—there were two big principles. One, they had decided at this point that they wanted the president to be elected separately from the Congress. Not like a parliamentary system, not something coming out of the Congress. And secondly, that they were going to reflect that compromise in Congress.And so, the real number of 270, or the larger number of electors that are available, are basically all of the states have two electors for the senators that they

National news media have discovered that evangelical Christians are significant subculture in our society, and that their votes can male a big difference.

Study Shows Stadium Voting is a Home RunWe're taking Memorial Day weekend off, so we're posting an ADM from July 2022 about stadium voting, which we think is a really great idea. Have a great weekend, and we'll be back Wednesday with a new American Democracy Minute Radio Report. – Brian BeihlToday's Script:  (Variations occur with audio due to editing for time) Today's Links now below the scriptYou're listening to the American Democracy Minute, keeping YOUR government by and for the people.It's baseball's All Star week, and a new study suggests that you might want to get out to your local ballpark or basketball arena – to exercise your freedom to vote.The Civic Responsibility Project commissioned a study by a panel of experts during the 2020 election and found that sports stadiums make excellent voting venues.  In fact, 48 MLB, NBA, NHL, MLS, and NFL sports stadiums and arenas were used for voting in 2020.But the value of sports facilities go beyond social distancing.   The study found that stadiums are often located in densely populated metropolitan areas, accessible by mass transit.    The facilities are capable of moving people in and out, are handicapped accessible, have adequate bathrooms and parking, and are in general, easy to get to.  Staff at the stadiums are used to the logistics for games, concerts and other large events.After decades of not being out front on social justice issues, many pro sports franchises are now looking for opportunities to be better corporate citizens.   Providing valuable support for voting and civic engagement in their communities is an excellent way to do that.   Voters like it, too.  The Civic Responsibility Project found that 2020 voters came from a wide range of political, racial and cultural backgrounds, and stadium voting didn't benefit any particular group of voters.  The study notes that proximity is the biggest factor in voter use of the sports venue, but in some cities voters came from significant distances.   Seems like stadium voting is, well, a home run.     A link to the study is at our website, AmericanDemocracyMinute.orgGranny D said “Democracy is not something we have, it's something we DO.”   For the American Democracy Minute, I'm Brian Beihl.Today's Links:Civic Responsibility Project Study:   VOTING IN 2020: PROFESSIONAL SPORTS STADIUMS & ARENAS ASPOLLING PLACESWashington Monthly:  Take Me Out to the … Voting Booth!https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/americandemocracyminute/episodes/2022-07-17T08_50_29-07_00Please follow us on Facebook and Twitter and SHARE!  Find all of our reports at AmericanDemocracyMinute.orgWant ADM sent to your email?  Sign up here!#Democracy  #DemocracyNews

In the early morning of June 1, 1921, a white mob marched across the train tracks in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and into its predominantly Black Greenwood District—a thriving, affluent neighborhood known as America's Black Wall Street. They brought with them firearms, gasoline, and explosives. In a few short hours, they'd razed thirty-five square blocks to the ground, leaving hundreds dead. The Tulsa Race Massacre is one of the most devastating acts of racial violence in US history. But how did it come to pass? And why are the events unknown to so many of us today? Award-winning author Brandy Colbert's Black Birds in the Sky is a searing nonfiction account of the Tulsa Race Massacre. It is part of a legacy of white violence that can be traced from our country's earliest days through Reconstruction, the Civil Rights movement in the mid–twentieth century, and the fight for justice and accountability Black Americans still face today. The Tulsa Race Massacre went largely undocumented and has rarely been taught in schools. The ambitious and intimate Black Birds in the Sky seeks to shed long-overdue light on this shameful moment in American history, and by showing us our past, points to a way forward. Brandy Colbert is the critically acclaimed author of several books for children and teens, including The Voting Booth, The Only Black Girls in Town, The Revolution of Birdie Randolph, Stonewall Book Award winner Little & Lion and The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks. Her books have been chosen as Junior Library Guild selections, and have appeared on many best of lists, including the American Library Association's Best Fiction for Young Adults and Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers.

In September 2017, barely two months before Virginians went to the polls to pick a new governor, the state's board of elections convened an emergency session. The crisis at hand? Touchscreen voting machines. They'd been bought back in the early aughts, when districts across the country, desperate to avoid a repeat of the 2000 “hanging chads” fiasco, decided to go digital. But the new machines were a nightmare, prone to crashes and—worse—hacking.
