much like the Christian Coalition ... self-interested identity politics in churches dressed up as driven by "faith"
As you know all too perfectly well, in the US churches are also social clubs. Nobody is talking "faith in God" here - just "faith in vote".
Though, I must add, for over half a century Mexican opposition was sustained, mainly, by the popular local Catholic belief that God likes free elections. Not a bad faith to have, I should say.
Having "faith in our votes" isn't something people normally say, it doesn't even make any have any meaning as a phrase. It's pretty obvious they are trying to play on people's religious loyalites by using that word.
