Christian nationalist power rests on skewed electoral representation
Evidence
Even more than the Republican Party itself, the movement’s electoral power depends on its sway over primaries and general elections in states and districts that are disproportionately represented.

Everything that restores the power of people to govern ourselves undermines the pretensions of those who would dominate us in the name of God. — Katherine Stewart, The Power Worshippers, 1073
