The Christian Coalition is seeking contributions for a $2.7 million campaign aimed at getting U.S. religious conservatives to the polls on Nov. 3. According to the group’s budget, more than $1 million would be spent on printing and distributing some 45 million voter guides and congressional scorecards, and an additional $1 million would go for a get-out-the-vote drive. The effort comes amid continued scrutiny of the conservative Christian lobby’s past political activities that stems from a lawsuit filed by the Federal Election Commission accusing the coalition of illegally spending thousands of dollars to promote Republican candidates.
