DeKalb Pastors Stress Participation In Elections: ‘When We Do Not Vote, It Affects Us All’

Pastor Lee May says DeKalb Votes Together is looking to double the number of churches involved in the outreach effort, and the group wants to get 25,000 registered voters to commit to voting by mail through its website.

More than two dozen DeKalb County pastors have come together to promote voting in this November’s election.

Pastor Lee May of Transforming Faith Church is heading up the group, DeKalb Votes Together. He says that through mid-October, the group will be focusing on getting church members to vote by mail.

“And so every time that we stand up as pastors, communicating our goal for people to vote by mail, we want to project a sense of confidence that you can be assured that your vote has been cast and counted on election day,” May says.
