advocates have signed
onto a unique statement
that supports a compre-
hensive path to “a free
and fair election” and
urges leaders to heed the
verdict of “legitimate elec-
tion results” regardless of
who wins in November.
Signatories of the
statement, shared in ad-
vance with The Associat-
ed Press, include senior
officials at the National
Association of Evangeli-
cals and prominent pro-
gressive pastor the Rev.
William Barber, as well
as two past faith advis-

statement’s wide swath of
endorsements illustrates
the extent to which the
unprecedented nature of
a mid-pandemic election
has pushed organized re-
ligion to showcase its civ-

After listing four basic
principles, including the
importance of leaders
sharing “timely, accurate
information about the
election results” rather
than misinformation, the
statement goes on to state
that those ideas “are cen-

are supported by the vast

they are being challenged
in unprecedented ways in
the 2020 election.”
“America is only as
