Why women or minorities would vote R is just completely beyond me
Women and minorities voting for conservatives always gives me real "Jews for Hitler" vibes.

Is voting not secret is US? Go thru the motions, but once you are in the booth. Vote on your best interest?
I've heard of churches having "Let's all fill out our mail-in ballots together" sessions.
I've also heard a lot of "My husband fills in my mail-in ballot."
The real power of this kind of thought control is its ability to govern people's thoughts and behaviors when nobody else is around.
Your ballot is secret in the US, but the fact that you voted is not. That's public record.
I'm an Ex-JW, and they expressly ban voting. As far as I know, they don't have anyone pouring over public records looking for members who voted. Though I wouldn't put it past a few busy body elders to check. That said, I would still hesitate to vote if I was PIMO (physically in, mentally out). I did vote for Obama in 2012 when I was on my way out, but I already had plans in motion to leave officially within months.
The whole point of church/religion is to get you to act a specific way in your daily life, not just at church or in the presence of other people of the religion.
