The Rundown: 6 days left – have you voted?

Based on the widely differing policies of the two major parties, it is safe to say that the political trajectory of our state and nation depends on Tuesday's election and the mercy of God. According to new research from George Barna, an estimated 41 million Christians may not vote in this presidential election. The data also shows, however, that millions of them would vote if their pastors, friends, or family encouraged them to vote. With the 2020 presidential election ultimately decided by about 587,000 votes across nine battleground states, the Christian vote–if activated–would determine the election.

CCV Opposes Issue 1

The 2024 Issue 1 is an Ohio constitutional amendment that would fundamentally change how legislative and congressional district lines are drawn in our state. Backed by foreign-funded political organizations, the amendment would replace the current redistricting process that requires both parties to approve district lines with an unaccountable system that would allow maps with no support from one of the two major parties.

Aaron Churchill and Rabbi Yitz Frank join CCV's Ohio Christian Education Network Executive Director Troy McIntosh and podcast hosts CCV President Aaron Baer and Communications Director Mike Andrews to unpack why these common anti-school choice arguments are based on cherry-picked data or fail to consider the most important factor in school choice–parental satisfaction.
