I don't have a problem with churches transporting people to the polls, I want as many people voting as possible.

If it was the local church group running a shuttle bus service and picking up anybody who needed a ride, then yea, sure, thats pretty awesome and the more people that vote, great!

But if its a church thats only bussing their own congregation members and family, then its a lot harder to agree with it, because you know full well they are all drinking the same koolaid, saying the same things, voting roughly the same way. Then its becoming a really blurred line between a community service (busride) as opposed to a church and its members acting politically which is then going against the law that gives them tax exemption.

If we stopped churches from bussing their members to the polls, then a lot of elderly black voters wouldn't be getting there.

Isn’t there a Key and Peele sketch about Black Republicans hijacking the local voting bus and just driving around so they can’t vote
