Zach Nielsen faced a dilemma heading into 2016’s bitter election.
The evangelical pastor of The Vine Church on Madison’s south side did not discuss how to vote from the pulpit, but privately, he said, it was rough.
“For many people in my circle, the tension was wanting to cherish the right to vote, but on the other hand, not being about to, in good conscience, vote for Hillary or Trump. They were both seen as morally unfit for office. One because she is pro-choice, and the other because he is a loud-mouth lunatic who is a womanizer, celebrates all other sorts of sin and behaves like a fourth-grader on Twitter.”
