I told you what I know. I can’t say who told me, but the person would FOR SURE know.

No they wouldn't.

No person at any church, including the pastor or any staff member, would know how the members of a church voted in an election. The notion is absurd.

Not true. They might not have exact numbers, but they can know which way the church is leaning.

Chunga and PetroniusMaximus, in the interest of moving along, can we leave it at... PM heard “most of North Point voted democratic in 2008” in a meeting and wanted to helpfully present that info here, minus source, as perhaps a reason why Obama has been permitted use our church. Chunga, from what you know of voting privacy, the church, and from speaking to Cynda, found the info to be wrong.

Generally speaking, publicly known voting results could explain an educated guess on North Point voters. If one looked at just Fulton County, the county in which NPCC is located, then the statement PM heard would be spot on as results show 67% voted Democrat and 32% voted Republican. If however, results from neighboring counties (Cherokee, Forsyth, Cobb, Dekalb, Gwinnett) were reviewed, it would seem likely the congregation would be soundly and largely Republican, especially if you also separated South Fulton from North Fulton, as North Fulton would like vote similar to the regions nearby. Looking at the results from all counties would explain why so many conservatives on here say they find like-minded conservatives in their programs at NPCC and would find a statement purporting an Obama majority at church to be insensible.

In my own limited experience at NPCC, politics does not come up. Which brings me to my next response to the topic originator, Reagan69.
