(Christianity Today) Despite their opposing views of who should win the upcoming election, Republicans and Democrats share a sense of urgency over the 2020 presidential race.

It’s always awkward to be a nonvoting Christian during campaign season, and this year, nonvoters really feel the pressure.

Nonvoting is assumed to be a decision made out of resignation, apathy, or lack of concern for the country.
