I noticed that many states had "popular votes" [otherwise known as "our personal votes"] that showed that one particular candidate had "won the state". Shouldn't this have caused these "electors" who vote for these electoral votes to be forced to vote in a different way ???

Didn't MY personal vote even "count" ??? I guess not. So, why should we even go out to vote at all ??? I guess I just do not understand this process at all. Frown

In Christ's Love,

Jennifer

Okay, I guess that makes more sense to me now.

Now, I guess we need to pray that our new president-elect will follow God's will for our country...
Thanks, LuvinVBS

In Christ's Love,
