Precinct Organizing: The Path to the Promised Land

1.) Get a list of all the registered Democrats in the targeted precinct (from your local supervisor of elections, or whoever managed elections in your county - in Florida the state party has provided each county party a way to access this information quickly and easily.)

2.) Take the list of registered Democrats, and pull out those Democrats who have voted in 4 out of the last 4 elections (including primaries.) These are committed Democrats.

3.) Get a team together (hopefully a county party's precinct committee or whichever person or institution that should be dealing with this, again if there is such an entity.) Find a central meeting place and prepare for a meetup.

4.) Send out a snail mail invitation (preferably hand-written, sorry, but this is far more likely to get read) to all the "4/4" Democrats to the meetup.

1. Excellent ideas.

I am planning a get together for my precinct in September. I am already precinct captain, so all I need to do is recruit some block captains to help out with the door to door. Going for the 4x4 dems is definitely the way to go, now that it is pointed out to me.

2. Yeah. I'm going to contact the author for permission to reprint.
