32 Lancaster County Christian clergy members speak out about "Christian nationalism" in the today's LNP. lancasteronline.com/opinion/column… "Research shows that Christian nationalists represent the views of a distinct minority of Christians, views that most traditional and mainline Christian churches see as too extreme..."

Four years ago we woke up to a chilling new reality. We didn't know where to turn or what to do. Our institutions had failed to stop the worst from happening.

So we turned to each other.

Here in Lancaster County, 300 of us came out to an emergency community meeting. We didn't know exactly what we would do, but we realized that no one was coming to save us. We grasped that it was up to us to get ourselves organized into a force that could do something.

That was the day we launched Lancaster Stands Up.

@CommissionerRD and @CommissionerJP are trying to backtrack and justify their decision to ignore the Department of State’s guidance to count mail-in votes received after Nov. 3rd. They know how bad this looks and are trying to save face, but without changing course. We need to keep the pressure on. The guidance is clear. Count the ballots once they are segregated. Stop bending over backwards to suppress our votes.
The Commissioners initially claimed to be upset by this ruling because it would delay counting.

Election Alert!

The County Commissioners reported today that they have decided NOT to immediately count ballots that are received up to three days after the election despite the Supreme Court upholding the ruling to do so. This is a blatant attempt to delay reporting votes. At yesterday’s BOE meeting this item was NOT on the agenda. Still, the decision was made to set aside these ballots and not count them until a later Supreme Court decision. But the SC already upheld the ruling to count ballots that are received up to three days after November 3rd

The past 72 hours have been some of the most traumatic times we’ve had in Lancaster county in recent memory. We are all processing what has occurred and how we heal and move forward together as a community. On Sunday afternoon, the Lancaster City Police Department sent a lone, armed police officer to meet Ricardo Munoz, who was suffering an acute mental health crisis, after his sister placed a non-emergency call concerned about his well-being and the well-being of her mother.

A Lancaster judge just set her bail at one million dollars for participating as a medic in last night’s protests. On Sunday, police arrested Taylor Enterline, Kathryn Patterson, and 6 other people during a demonstration against the police killing of Ricardo Munoz, a 27 year old Latino man who community members report was autistic.
