The power of the vote is seen when people become informed and vote according to justice, honesty, integrity, and energy, rather than according to a party or sect. We have the ability to discern the spiritual characteristics of candidates and vote for the one who will rise to every occasion with moral courage.

 

From 21st Century Science and Health:

The divine Principle of the First Commandment bases the Science of spiritual being by which we demonstrate health, holiness, and life eternal. One infinite God, good, unites people and nations; constitutes good-will; ends wars; fulfills the Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself;”[1] annihilates false thinking and Christian idolatry—removes whatever is wrong in social, civil, criminal, political, and religious codes; equalizes the sexes; annuls the curse on us, and leaves nothing that can sin, suffer, be punished or destroyed.
