Via Politico:
A top Democratic lawmaker is going after True the Vote, a prominent conservative anti-vote fraud group, over concerns that its efforts may adversely impact minority voters.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (Md.), ranking member of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has sent two letters to the Houston-based organization seeking “seeking specific documents about the manner in which True the Vote and its affiliated organizations have been challenging the registration of thousands of voters across the country based on insufficient, inaccurate and faulty evidence.”
Concerned about voter fraud and “election integrity,” True the Vote has declared that it wants to deploy up to one million volunteers across the country to monitor what happens on Election Day.
Cummings complained that True the Vote has “not produced a single document” yet in response to his original Oct. 4 letter, but has asked for a face-to-face meeting with the Maryland Democrat. Cummings declined any such meeting until True the Vote turns over the information he is seeking, which includes estimates of the number of poll monitors it will field, where these monitors will be sent, and copies of the voter rolls it is using to determine voter eligibility.
Citing reports of True the Vote’s activities in North Carolina, Wisconsin and Texas, Cummings also said there “is mounting evidence that True the Vote’s aggressive poll monitoring tactics are being coordinated closely with the Republican Party.”
