The New Jersey Christian Coalition distributed one million "voter guides" to churches throughout the state.

The Christian Coalition, which was recently accused by the Federal Election Commission of conducting electioneering activity under the guise of education, is planning to distribute 50 million "voter guides" this fall.

The Christian Coalition said it distributed 800,000 voter guides in the state that assessed the candidates stands on issues like abortion, education and welfare.

In last year's elections, the coalition distributed 45 million voter guides in 125,000 churches.

By year's end, 200,000 volunteers will have distributed 85 million voter guides and Congressional "scorecards," said Ralph Reed, executive director of the coalition.

As encouragement, the Christian Coalition, in its most ambitious voter effort, distributed 33 million voter guides today in churches nationwide, including one million in Tennessee.

In 1990, the commission asserts, the coalition coordinated with the re-election campaign of Senator Helms, a North Carolina Republican, to distribute 750,000 voter guides in the state and make about 29,800 telephone calls in a get-out-the-vote effort.

The group, based in Chesapeake, Va., does not endorse candidates, but it distributed 750,000 voter guides favoring Mr. Miller.

The decision by Pat Robertson's organization, the Christian Coalition, to distribute 500,000 voter guides with the cooperation of hundreds of churches and synagogues has aroused special attention.

In the 1998 elections, the coalition boasted of distributing more than 40 million voter guides through cooperating churches.
