Bless the Ballot Week 4: Down Ballot Voting

Amos 5:24

Do you know what I want? I want justice - oceans of it. I want fairness - rivers of it. That's what I want. That's all I want.

By now we all know who is running for President, but do you know who is running in your community? 

The local races are typically known as the “Down Ballot Races”. These are the races for your school boards, local sheriffs, town clerks, and many other smaller offices. Although these races don’t get the media attention that the Presidential election receives, these are the races that are most impactful to our communities. 

We should be prepping for these races HERE by studying a sample Ballot for your district. There are often district specific questions also listed on the back of the Ballot. Be sure to research your district prior and flip over your ballot on election day! 

These election day decisions can play into our overall voting plan. We are challenging all of our Justice League members to make a voting plan and we encourage you to join along with us, by following the guidelines below:
