Christian Coalition Lauds Its Vote Drive

Christian Coalition leaders said their massive get-out-the-vote effort across the country was a success. The group distributed 45 million voter guides in 125,000 churches nationwide and contacted 3 million to 5 million voters in person or by telephone. “Directors in key states were thrilled with how the project came off,” said Mike Russell, a national Christian Coalition spokesman. “They ran out of voters guides in Florida, Georgia and Texas.” The voter guides compare how Democratic and Republican candidates stand on issues such as abortion, school prayer and homosexuals in the military. Critics say they overwhelmingly favor Republicans.
