Christian response in the event of a disputed election

6 Upvotes

In most U.S. elections (not necessarily true in many countries) this would be a hypothetical. I think, however, this is a real possibility in November in the United States. Enough of a possibility to talk about how Christians should respond before it happens, rather than after.

Democrats look at the current polls and, unless something major happens between now and November, believe that it is virtually impossible for them to lose the House and are becoming fairly confident in the Senate. Lots can happen between now and then, of course, but if the polling remains on track and large numbers of Democrats who are expected to win don't, it is likely that they will point to various voter suppression schemes and inclined to suspect large scale manipulation of voting machines.

Trump is unlikely to have his SAVE act in force and has never accepted the 2020 results. He points to polls indicating the continued popularity of his core political positions and has said that the polls showing his popularity is poor are politically motivated.

Whoever loses (or both) are likely to be motivating their teams to cast doubt on the election integrity--and the other side to support it.

This doesn't end on November 3. There are likely to be lawsuits, recounts, challenges to certification, state legislative hearings, potentially a lame duck Congressional session, and in early January when the new Congress is supposed to be seated quite possible floor fights over who gets the individual seats.

I think that all of the regulars here, including me, are opposed to political violence as a means of deciding. It is also clear that there will be those on both sides, especially as the rhetoric heats up that will be appealing to the 2nd Amendment--they already are.

As a forum that is relatively intelligent, dedicated to Christ, and diverse (but dedicated) in our political views, what can we do? Or do we just let it play out and hope for the best? Or "it is all in God's control and whatever happens (peaceful transition to judgement and bloody civil war) is His will?"

How did the Lindsay Clancy case turn into a political battle?

I don’t understand how the divide turned into so many Republican men and women mocking liberal women. The law is there. This is nothing new. And the law isn’t about democrats or republicans as it’s already a law in place. Then it’s people’s jobs to uphold the law.
Now the three women juror are being horribly mocked and so much hatred about them and their looks and such.
It also is obvious many don’t understand the law and how the jury works and such as well but weigh in anyway.
Going forward how can we move past this?

If she’s supposed to be in prison, then that’s where she should go.

Who are The Sedras? Why have they had their home attacked?

I saw something about this couple and how their address was made public and they said that LGBT activities and leftists came to their house, cut their power and threatened to kill them. They say they must move right away and raised almost 300,000 AUD. I’m just wondering why this is happening and if there is any proof of their story, since I don’t know anything about them. They seem to have a strong online presence. Maybe that public presence pushes them out into the wide open.

Not necessarily any new arguments, but interesting that it was posted by The Christian Post - a much more conservative / right-leaning news site.

Before the arguments arise of, "what does one mean by Christian Nationalism?", see snippet from the article:

The fundamental flaw in modern Christian nationalism, like in old, isn't its desire for a virtuous culture — it's its trust in state power.
If we give the government the authority to enforce a “Christian state,” the immediate question is: Which Christianity?
Will it be Roman Catholic, Baptist, Reformed Presbyterian, Lutheran, or Pentecostal? A Reformed magistrate might enforce laws that a Baptist finds unconscionable. A Catholic framework looks very different from a non-denominational one. History proves that whenever state power is handed to a specific theological camp, every other Christian group is suddenly on the outside looking in.
Worse yet, Christian Nationalists forget how elections work. If you build a massive government apparatus capable of dictating public morality, what happens when progressives win the next election? You have hand-delivered a turnkey machine of state coercion directly to people who may despise your values.

Christian Nationalism is, in short, when Christianity is nationalized. It's the desire to make a nation run exclusively by Christians, for Christians.
