PRAYING the PRECINCTS for Community Transformation

Pray the Precincts asks praying people everywhere to pray God's blessing of protection, direction and favor on their neighborhoods and communities.  Neighbors are taking an active part in prayer, care and share with those on their street and precinct.  They are showing God's love, meet needs, and encouraging all to become informed and then vote.  We are ALL One Nation Under God.  That's our historical roots and thousands of communities are walking in that history.

What is a Precinct?
    

Fear of the Growth of Government and POWER! 

The Precinct Conventions
that elect the Precinct Chairs are one of the power centers of society.  


If we want to turn the direction of the United States of America around then our goal must be to take control of the power centers of society.

A county is divided into precincts. A precinct is an area that contains a maximum of 2,999 voters, usually with about 1000 voters within an area of several streets. The precincts are called the grassroots of the political parties. Each political party in each precinct is represented by a Precinct Chair (or Chairman/Leader/Executive/Delegate/Officer/etc, the position seems to be called by many names). The Precinct Chairs within a county make up a party Central Committee. Through the Central Committee's powers the Precinct Chairs together are extremely influential in the county, state, and the national party.

A precinct is generally the lowest-level governmentally-related division in the United States, and in that context is also known in some places as an election district. Precincts usually do not have separate governmental authorities, but in some states, including Ohio, the voters within a precinct may by initiative or referendum vote on liquor control laws that will be applicable only within that specific precinct (called "local option elections"). For purposes of conducting elections, an entity such as a county or township is typically subdivided into precincts and each address is assigned to a specific precinct.

Each precinct has a specific location where its residents go to vote. Sometimes several precincts will use the same polling station. A 2004 survey by the United States Election Assistance Commission reported an average precinct size in the United States of approximately 1,100 registered voters. Kansas had the smallest average precinct size with 437 voters per precinct, while the District of Columbia had the largest average size at 2,704 voters per precinct. [1].

Political parties often designate individuals, known by various titles such as "precinct captain" or "Precinct Committee Officer," to help them keep track of how the voters in a precinct feel about candidates and issues, and to encourage people to vote.

Precinct data are not widely available, though they can often be obtained by request. The Canadian equivalent of a precinct is known as a Poll.   Read source.

Why Pray the Precincts?

The Precinct is generally the lowest-level governmentally-related division in the United States.   Political parties often designate individuals, known by various titles such as "precinct captain" or "Precinct Committee Officer," to help them keep track of how the voters in a precinct feel about candidates and issues, and to encourage people to vote. 

"Pray the Precincts" wants to encourage praying people to become involved in prayer for their precincts because it is the most basic of areas of initial governance in the United States.  Exercise your God-given responsibility to vote God-fearing men and women into office on every level of governance in this country.  No God - no hope.  Know God - know hope.
