Election Integrity Hotline Announced


TRUE THE VOTE ANNOUNCES NATIONAL ELECTION INTEGRITY HOTLINE



Citizens encouraged to report illegal activity at the voting polls by phone, email and video



HOUSTON, TX. November 5, 2012― True the Vote (TTV), the nonpartisan election integrity organization, today announced the availability of its Election Integrity Hotline, to help document illegal activity inside or outside of America’s polling places.


 


“If you want to make a difference on November 6th, True the Vote has a job for you,” True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht said. “Election integrity captured the American conscience with a rough cell phone video of New Black Panthers intimidating voters in Pennsylvania in 2008. Intimidation and electioneering is illegal inside and outside of polls. You have the power to be America’s eyes and ears.”



Concerned citizens are encouraged to report any incidents outside of polling locations with True the Vote’s official Election Integrity Hotline (http://www.truethevote.org/incident-report/). Citizens may submit incidents over the phone by dialing 855-444-6100. Descriptions and photos should be directed to freeandfair@truethevote.org.True the Vote will verify credible reports and submit those appropriate local authorities.



True the Vote produced a brief training video explaining best practices and procedures encouraging citizens to film any wrongdoing, available on YouTube. View the video, here:

“Obama’s Army of Illegal Election Workers”

 Front Page: “Democrats have enlisted thousands of young illegal immigrants to drag their supporters to the polls on Election Day tomorrow.

These get-out-the-vote workers may or may not be breaking the law by helping with voter mobilization. Because the workers are already unlawfully present in the United States, presumably all employment they engage in –including electioneering— already violates laws against unauthorized employment.”

“Houston Chronicle Shills for NAACP”

 Breitbart has more.

“Even more alarming was the Houston Chronicle’s Mike Morris using a local official’s defense of the NAACP’s violations as a first person/eye witness account — even though the quoted official appeared not to witness the event. . . . Of course Ray didn’t witness any such thing; he wasn’t there. Eyewitnesses say they never saw Ray present and the polling station simply wasn’t set up in a way where he could’ve been missed. Of course, it is possible Ray showed up on the scene after the conflict occurred. Even so, the Houston Chronicle described him as an eyewitness giving the impression he actually was there and giving an eye-witness account.”

It was all part of the plan, from 2004

Tony Lee has the story of an old plan to smear, employed.

“The DNC’s 2004 election manual — on page 54 — encourages liberal activists to work with the mainstream media to preemptively intimidate groups that may expose their Election Day shenanigans.


And that is exactly what has occurred in the past week.


The guide encourages Democrats to brief the press about the “background and history of GOP minority voter
intimidation, with emphasis on past activity in your state or district” and “emphasizing a message of outrage” that is also “designed to appeal to the broader community.”


The manual also suggests Democrats “use minority intimidation as an organizing tool” and “link this fight to the historical fights to enfranchise minorities, going back to the civil rights struggle.”


If there are no signs of intimidation, then the guide urges Democrats to launch a “pre-emptive strike” by:



  • Issuing a press release;

  • Reviewing Republican tactic used in the past in your area or state;

  • Quoting party/minority/civil rights leadership as denouncing tactics that discourage people from voting

  • Placing stories in which minority leadership expresses concern about the threat
    of intimidation tactics;

  • Priming minority leadership to discuss the issue in the media;

  • Providing groups talking points;

  • Warning local newspapers not to accept advertising that is not properly disclaimed or that contains false warnings about voting requirements and/or about what will happen at the polls
