"Organize the whole state, so that every Whig can be
brought to the polls. Divide the county into small districts
and appoint in each a committee. Make a perfect list of
voters and ascertain with certainty for whom they will vote.
Keep a constant watch on doubtful voters and have them
talked to by those in whom they have the most
confidence...and on election day see that every Whig is
brought to the polls." – Abraham Lincoln
President Lincoln recognized the value of local politics.
