@ approx. 11am – King Street Patriots holds a press conference. Channel 39 retells the story here. Later that same day stories appear on Drudge Report, Election Law Center, and Breitbart.
Sunday, 8/29 – True the Vote is the subject of a story in Huffington Post. For those of you who have participated with any King Street program, who volunteer for True the Vote, or who come to our general meetings and watch us pass a cowboy hat to raise funds, you’re sure to be amused by their characterization of our organization.
What happens next? From our perspective, it’s very simple. We keep doing what we are doing. The True the Vote effort is not about party, it’s not about politics. It’s about citizens coming together and working to restore honor and integrity to our elections.
True the Vote was started because of the problems we witnessed firsthand at our polls. When we see an epidemic shortage of pollworkers, when we watch election code laws be broken time and again, when we discover people are registered to vote at vacant lots – when we know for a fact these things are happening, we must do something about it. How can we not? To turn a blind eye to the problem would be a complete betrayal of ourselves and our fellow citizens.
The True the Vote initiative will not stop. The attacks will come, in fact are already coming, but we will not stop. Everyone deserves the right to a free and fair election. Period.
If you’d like to volunteer to help True the Vote, please sign up here. If elections are not truly fair then we are not truly free.
