Midterm Rulings

A record 53M+ Americans have already voted in tomorrow’s race to control Congress.

An election operation dubbed “Decoy Dan” has drawn a “surge of law enforcement assets” to Alaska to investigate allegations that Democrats tried to peel votes from incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan (R) by fielding a candidate with the same name. On Sunday, a federal judge dismissed the DOJ’s lawsuit demanding to delay Alaska’s election certification because of Dan2 confusion, saying Washington has no standing in Anchorage.

The second Dan Sullivan says he never discussed his candidacy with Democratic candidate Peltola’s campaign.

Meanwhile, a federal judge ordered the DOJ to stop threatening California election officials with criminal charges for processing ballots that the Trump administration says “likely” belong to non-citizens, saying the threat of prosecution was “interfering with election administration and disenfranchising lawful voters.”

RADIATE HOPE
Election anxiety will peak in our communities in the next several days. Believers have a hope to keep us grounded and an anchor to offer to those who feel tossed by political storms: Our King is unchallenged on His eternal throne, and He knows our needs.

“This is my Father's world: Why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King: let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad!”
This Is My Father’s World, a hymn by Maltbie Babcock (1901)
