    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.
