Earlier this year, Christian nationalist(link is external) MAGA(link is external) cultist(link is external) Lance Wallnau announced(link is external) that he intended to launch a tour heading into the 2024 elections that he claimed will break the “demonic strongholds” in various states that are supposedly preventing Republicans from winning elections.

Through this tour, Wallnau intends(link is external) to raise up thousands of “patriots,” “grassroots saints,” and “intercessors” in swing states to who will "see the Republican Party shaken to the core" by ensuring that former President Donald Trump is returned to the White House.

During a livestream on his Facebook page last week, Wallnau announced(link is external) that he has "identified 17 [counties] where demonic strongholds have corrupt control over the voting" and it is these counties that he intends to target.

"We're going to mobilize," Wallnau declared. "Before we're done, the states are going to be mobilized. The awakened saints aren't just going to be running around doing Facebook posts and incantations and proclamations; we're actually going to be mobilizing the churches, mobilizing the businesses, mobilizing the legislators, mobilizing the independent media—people just like you guys—we're going to be mobilizing in the intercessory warriors."

"Out of 3,143 counties in the United States, we've identified 17 where demonic strongholds have corrupt control over the voting and over the machinery," he continued. "We're actually going to focus our precinct strategy on those 17 counties. We're going to go with the [revival] tent, we're going to go with signs, wonders, miracles, deliverance, Holy Ghost anointing, and the fire of God into seven swing states, hitting 17 counties."

Wallnau has not yet revealed precisely which counties he plans to target, but he did post a chart(link is external) on his Twitter page recently laying out 14 counties that he claims "will determine the future of America in 2024."

Wallnau is an avowed(link is external) Christian nationalist who was treated(link is external) as an insider by the Trump White House and who has used his potion of influence to relentlessly promote(link is external) Seven Mountains Dominionism, a theology connected to right-wing political ideology that teaches that Christians are to “do whatever is necessary(link is external)” to take control(link is external) of the seven main “mountains(link is external)” that shape our culture—education, government, media, business, arts and entertainment, family, and religion—in order to implement the will of God throughout the nation and the world.
