I agree with Ransomnote. I encourage and applaud all who will start taking part at precinct level but the bevy of articles and pundits calling this our solution are not sharing the reality everywhere.
I would love for every FreeQ here to attend their precinct conventions, not only are chairmanships available but delegates for county conventions are also selected.
As to the reality of open precinct chairmanships you need to do your homework. More than likely those positions are in rat enclaves. Those in large “blue cities” could have an easy time gaining election to chairman as the articles contend.
If you live in an area with a good showing for “R’s” in elections it could be trickier. And as we all know we can group “R’s” broadly into 2 groups, Rinos and true conservatives. (Yeah there are more factions but using this general distinction.) But in every county I know of that has a county Pubbie structure there is more to contend with than what’s been presented. I have been involved at precinct level since ‘84. My youngest has been active since ‘04. We’ve become familiar with several Texas counties and for dtr, 1 Alabama county.
Conservative counties typically have people who want to vet you. This is not a bad thing IMO. That first precinct convention I attended I was 26. They weren’t sure about a young female who’d only lived in the area 1 year. I was elected as an alternate to the county convention. No vote but I could speak, question and participate in discussion. Guess I passed because after that I was a delegate and later elected delegate to state conventions. Also served many years as chairs and election judge.
In 2010 I moved across the county line, by 1 mile. Different demographics. Bunch of RINOs. They control county precinct positions like the turtle doling out senate committees. There is a growing group of conservatives in the county working in most precincts to throw these John Cornyn clones out but I’ve been at this 10 years and not been able to proceed in my precinct. This is exactly like the swamp you see in DC, only on a smaller scale.
I heartily ask people to jump in at their own precinct level. I would be more than happy to PM anyone with questions, although each state is different. But go into this ready to stick to it and fight if you are not in one of those “empty precincts.” But, even if every FreeQ latches on to the battle for local position, this is a long term answer to a short term crisis.

Love your post!
I wrote mine to object to to the idea that the solution to the 2020 steal can be resolved at the ballot box by voting for Trump in 2024. The only solution that will work is Stopping the Steal and I’m confident our favorite President understands and has many operations in motion to address this.
But I do think we should be, as you say, getting involved at the precinct level because we never want to have this happen on our watch again. We have to flood the zone with Patriots and get used to being on top of what happens in our local organizations and fair elections as a normal part of life for every citizen. Thank you for bringing it up! :D
