It's Monday, November 4th, 2024. I'm Albert Mueller, and this is the briefing. A daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview.

Well, we are less than 24 hours from Election Day, 2024, and it is a day that will live in history, no doubt about it.

And we've been aiming for this day for a long time. Every presidential election in American history is a very big deal. It's a very big democratic, a very big electoral event. But as we're looking at this, we recognize that there are issues on the table. There's an historical context in place for this election that makes it particularly important. But at this point, there are some interesting things

from the Christian worldview to think about. One of them is the existence at this point in the

election of so-called undecided voters. So let's just think about that for a moment. We have been

at the presidential election in a formal sense for almost two years.

That is to say, you go back to late 2022 and you are already looking at the presidential race shaping up.

And of course, there's never a time when Americans aren't thinking about talking about the political class

isn't organizing about a presidential campaign. But in a big public way,

we've been talking about it for so long with such intensity that most Americans are no doubt

tired of hearing about the issues and hearing the candidates. And no doubt on both sides,

the candidates are tired of this electoral race. It is, it's just something that human beings can't endure for too long.

And it's too long already. But even as Election Day comes around, let's go back to that question of

who in the world could be undecided at this point. Now, keep in mind that newspapers and political

analysts have been raising the question as to whether or not the so-called undecided vote can

throw the election either to Vice President Kamala Harris or to former President Donald Trump

as we look at Election Day tomorrow and the results coming in. But here's where a bit of

honesty would help us. One point of honesty is this. If someone is undecided at this point,

they are not very invested on the issues.

They're not very convictional. They're not operating out of any kind of worldview, any kind of consistent worldview, and they're not taking responsibility to be informed and to make informed decisions.

If you are undecided at this point in an election, it's probably best that you just don't vote.

Now, Jeff Greenfield made that point in the pages of the Wall Street Journal just this week.
