True the Vote was on the ground in Wisconsin helping to ensure free and fair elections.  Mission accomplished.  “The Eye Popping Wisconsin Story You Didn’t Read.”

True the Vote “created an online program for inputting and verifying petitions using a triple blind procedure. Volunteers would be able to input data from a computer anywhere in the U.S. By February 27^th, the last day for challenging petitions, TTV had recruited 14,000 volunteers nationwide. They had entered and analyzed 92 percent of the records submitted.

VTR identified 819,233 discreet records, not the 1 million claimed by United Wisconsin. Of these, only 534,685, 65 percent, could be verified as legitimate. TTV continued to analyze the data past the due date, attempting to review all petitions. On March 21, they had analyzed 97 percent, a total of 860,155 complete records with 584,489 validated. More than the 540,208 needed, barely, but with a tremendous error rate. A total of 17,000 volunteers had participated.”

True the Vote will be nationwide in November.

Thomas Sowell is really paying attention to DOJ.  Two weeks in a row his syndicated column touches on the Voting Section.

“Obama’s Department of Justice has been spreading the hysteria that states requiring photo identification for voting are trying to keep minorities from voting, and using the prevention of voter fraud as a pretext.”

criminal investigation and legal action over the handling of their
campaigns to remain on the bench.Gov. Rick Scott,
a Republican who has been critical of some of the court’s past rulings,
on Tuesday asked a state law-enforcement agency to decide whether to
investigate the justices over their use of state employees to help
finish election-related paperwork

…”Meanwhile, a conservative legal group is raising questions about
whether the justices may be violating ethics rules because they are
raising money and urging voters to keep them on the bench.  “No man
is above the law, particularly those charged with enforcing the law,”

Greta Van Susteren on Monday about maintaining integrity in the voting
process when people go to cast their votes today during Wisconsin’s

“It’s real stuff. It’s felons voting. It’s
people voting twice. Things along those lines. Wisconsin’s voting laws
are so liberal…it’s very easy to potentially commit fraud and get away
with it if you want to,” said AG Van Hollen when asked how serious the
voter fraud issue was in Wisconsin.
