Our Faith Our Vote

Voter fraud, or more accurately, election fraud, is a serious threat to our democracy, especially in this crucial period of our nation's and the world's history.

Election Protection recounts true stories from real people from all over the nation, stymied and thwarted from exercising their right to vote. Here is the experience of Aaron E. of Indianapolis, Indiana:

Aaron was first told to vote at a nearby retirement home in his Indianapolis neighborhood. Once there, Aaron, and many other voters, learned they had been misdirected and were told to go to a local library to vote. Aaron headed to the library only to find that once again he had been misinformed. A poll worker at the library told Aaron that a nearby firehouse was his correct voting location. Unsure if he would ever find the right location, Aaron made the trip to the firehouse to learn he had reached the correct location, but that the polling station had closed. In utter disbelief over the absurd ordeal he just endured to cast a simple vote, Aaron called Election Protection to complain. His only hope now is that he will be given the correct information for the general election in November.

UCC has a valuable resource on its website called Our Faith Our Vote, dedicated to voter rights, general voting information and ways you can become active this election season.
