Untitled[edit]

This article sounds slanted, short as it is. I might agree that the precinct captain system of politics is a bit crooked, but to state this so baldly would seem to violate wikipedia's rules of neutrality. But I am not against speaking truth to power.

Electoral District vs Precinct[edit]

The first paragraph of this article says that a precinct captain is the " link between a political party and the voters in a local election district." However, "electoral district" is defined by Wikipedia to be a "territorial subdivision for electing members to a legislative body". The typical precinct does not elect members to a legislative body. Instead. there are typically many precincts within an electoral district.

It is surprising that an entry a about a precinct captain does not reference the Wikipedia entry for a precinct, but references "electoral district' instead. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CC71:7620:692F:262F:49CE:43D4 (talk) 03:45, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
