Precinct Reorg: Send Your Neighbors a Postcard

Hello Redstate Community, here is a post I created for the Spartanburg Tea Party to help with precinct reorganization.  Hopefully you know how to access voter lists where you live!

++++++++++++++++

Your goal in the next few weeks leading up to the Spartanburg County precinct reorganization date is to bring as many as possible with you to your polling place on March 3 at 7:00 PM.  The more precinct delegates we have, the bigger the conservative voice becomes in the GOP in our county, state, and nationally!

So I’ve decided to make some postcards and mail them to my neighbors that l know are registered republicans (I look on the voter list to find out) who live either on my street, or on a street that touches my street … my true neighbors.  My postcard will say something like this:

Hi Neighbor, I live down the street or around the corner from you, we vote at the same location.  If you want to have a say in how our local Republican party works, join me at our polling location for precinct reorganization, an opportunity we have once every 2 years to sign up to be precinct delegates and vote for county and state GOP leaders.

I’m going to sign my name, and hand write in the name of my polling place (Reidville Elementary) and the date (March 3) and the time (7:00 PM).  And I’ll write down my phone number as well so they can call me with questions.

In order to find out who the Republican voters are who live in your precinct, you’ll have to have access to the voter lists.  Many states allow you to purchase a copy of the Voter Vault.  Your GOP county chair may be able to assist you.  Perhaps the tea party in your county already has a copy and will share it with you.  Spartanburg Tea Party … you can contact me at info@spartanburgteaparty.org if you’d like your precinct list.

If you’d like to make postcards for your precinct, here is an instructional video!

    depending on how big your voting precinct is. Here in NH most towns with less than 20000 people have one voting precinct. In the last election our Republican Town Committee organized a massive literature drop to newspaper tubes targeting between 10000 and 15000 voters. I was still surprised at how many people still have newspaper tubes plus a lot of the new plastic mail boxes have newspaper slots built right in.

    If you’re talking about organizing a small voting precinct say about 1000 voters, you should be able to survey the area and match newspaper tubes to the voter list and cut down on the amount of stamps you have to use.

    I hear ya Charlie … this is an opportunity for individuals to target just their street and streets touching their street. I have 26 people I’ll send post cards to, not too bad, I do live on a long street with a few cross streets. To do the entire precinct would be, as you note, expensive. But if you and your circle of influence in your county, for example a tea party, all do this for just your street, you can cover some ground.
