Christian nationalist groups promised massive get-out-the-vote operations for 2016.

Evidence

In advance of the 2016 election, Christian nationalist leaders stepped up their ground game. At his Road to Majority conference that year, Ralph Reed told the crowd about the force his group would bring to bear on the upcoming presidential race. “We will distribute 35 million nonpartisan voter guides to 117,000 thousand churches and houses of worship across this country,” he vowed. “We will make 15 million phone calls from phone banks and volunteer centers. We will send out 20 million emails and texts to seven million voters of faith in battleground states … and, if they haven’t turned in their vote by 4 P.M. that day … we’re going to go to their house by car or van and knock on their doors.” — Katherine Stewart, The Power Worshippers, 703
