Reply #4: The significance of the involvement of Christian Reconstructionists... [View All]

...is often overlooked or misinterpreted. It is primarily in the mindset of such "true believers" as described by Eric Hoffer in his classic book by the same name.

In short, they "believe" they have the only answer, and that having the "only answer" justifies any actions in bringing their "only answer" to come to pass. They believe they are fighting against the Devil and all tactics (one would have to assume that to include rigging elections to make sure "God's" candidate got elected despite Satan's attempt to delude the vast unenlightened voting public) are acceptable in a fight against the Devil.

I don't have any problem with true believer's rights to believe. I do have a major problem with them being in charge of counting the votes in my country.
