If many Christians believe that they should vote for what they believe is morally correct.
Then why not propose legislation to make Adultery a capital offence?
“Thou shalt not commit adultery”
There is noting wrong, in fact it can be admirable, for a person to have moral standards that go above and beyond the basic minimum of the law.
But at the end of the day you have do decide what is more important. To have a legal system based on your morality, or to have laws that give the most freedom possible to all.

I agree with the old saying that you can't legislate morality.

I think that every time people use religion in order to legislate they are being extremely hypocritical since their own beliefs also say that they shouldn't have any other God and yet they don't try to legislate a forced belief system based on which God everyone must worship.

Well, I'm not a Christian who believes in legislating my morality on others. The fact is a Christian would do good to follow Christ John 8: 1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without asin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

that's ridicules. I will vote for what I believe in.
voting for what's best morally is best for ALL.
with out morals, it might be legal to KILL. but God is the one who said "Thou shalt NOT kill" so isn't not right to vote for what you believe is moral according to God..?
what would our laws be like with-out morals? worse

I think they've answered that question.
They aren't interested in the most freedom for all.
