I’ve shared this Psalm before, but election time always makes me think of it because of how the vote count is collected from east to west as the polls close. May God Almighty grant us favor and astounding victory, more than we can ask or imagine.

“I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’

And to the wicked, ‘Do not lift up the horn;

Do not lift up your horn on high,

Do not speak with insolent pride.’

For not from the east, nor from the west,

Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

But God is the Judge;

He puts down one and exalts another.

For a cup is in the hand of the Lord, and the wine foams;

It is well mixed, and He pours out of this;

Surely all the wicked of the earth must drain and drink down its dregs.

But as for me, I will declare it forever;

I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.

And all the horns of the wicked He will cut off,

But the horns of the righteous will be lifted up.”

— Psalm 75:4-10 NASB1995

Tips for voting day:

• if you show up and are told you’ve already voted, you are a victim of identity theft or Bidementia. Assuming it’s the former, call your local sheriff or whoever who need to call to report ID theft. In many states you can request a provisional ballot and still vote, after completing required paperwork.

• vote late in the day if possible to mess w the cheating algorithms

• if you see something odd, say something. Write it down. Make notes. If only one party is present at voter check-in, and you’re supposed to have two; if a poll worker is helping people vote or telling someone how to vote; if the right candidates aren’t on your ballot…. After Election Day, connect w your state’s election integrity group (check out America First Audit/Action) and report your findings. Report to your county election board or whoever oversees your local elections. Report to your county party chair. And follow up on your reports - ask for answers and offer solutions.
