Long before the 2020 election, Christian right leaders such as Paul Weyrich, Phyllis Schlafly, Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell promoted legislation to limit voter access, insisting that voting must be controlled to prevent the “wrong people” from determining the outcome. Now, Christian nationalist organizations are working with their allies to erect barriers to voting under the guise of “election integrity.”
Texas' "Election Integrity Protection Act of 2021," known as SB1, is a prime example. Its passage was celebrated by religious conservatives, including a Texas state elected official who called it “a good paradigm for other states to follow”--an ominous threat to the future of our country.
