There's a very good reason the world's leaders are so corrupt.

Luke 4:5-7 (NKJV)
Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him ALL THE KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I GIVE IT TO WHOMEVER I WISH. Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours."

Jesus turned Satan down, but many accepted Satan's offer.

In other words, your vote doesn't determine who wins.

2 Thessalonians 2:8-12 (NKJV)
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, BECAUSE THEY DID NOT RECEIVE THE LOVE OF THE TRUTH, that they might be saved. And for this reason GOD WILL SEND THEM STRONG DELUSION, that they should believe the lie, that they all may be condemned WHO DID NOT BELIEVE THE TRUTH but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

True, but the prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Is there a righteous man who will pray?

There is sin that leads to death, and prayer won't change this. People who push God too far are in deep trouble. MANY just don't know it yet.

1 John 5:16 (NKJV)
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to death. I do not say that he should pray about that.

I hope all of the liberals in swing states take your word for it and stay home today.

Romans 13:1 (NKJV)
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For THERE IS NO AUTHORITY EXCEPT FROM GOD, and the authorities that exist are APPOINTED BY GOD.

Fervent Prayer can change anything because prayer changes hearts. Notice I said prayer "can" change anything, not all prayers are answered as we wish because God is omnicient and only he knows what is best in any situation.

I believe God can do ANYTHING for His people, but just saying "anything" is a pretty broad brush.
