POLICY WIRE — Lansing, Michigan — A Michigan-based pastor has urged voters not to cast absentee ballots in the upcoming November election, claiming that votes are being switched and calling on President Donald Trump to declare a national emergency to limit voting to a single day.

Pastor Lorenzo Sewell made the remarks during a speech at Evangel Temple Church in Meridian, Mississippi, on September 26, later sharing the video online. His comments came three days after absentee ballots became available for the November 3 election in Michigan. Sewell warned that casting an absentee ballot could result in vote switching, despite no evidence supporting such claims.

Sewell, who led a prayer at Trump’s second inauguration, has been a prominent figure in Republican events over the past two years. He was part of the “Faith Leaders for Mike Rogers” coalition, a group supporting Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers. While Rogers encouraged absentee voting, Sewell promoted a single-day voting model, citing concerns about election integrity. Critics, including former Michigan elections director Chris Thomas, dismissed the idea as impractical and unconstitutional.
