True The Vote set out to wage war against voter fraud in 2012, but its efforts have been slowed by the difficulty of finding actual voter fraud in the United States.  In September, the New York Times publish a lengthy report by Stephanie Saul, highlighting some of True The Vote's credibility problems, including  its claims of busses full of illegal voters in San Diego or Wisconsin, claims that appear to have had no basis in fact.

Failing to find witches tends to slow any witch hunt, but True The Vote hasn't given up by any means.  Its newest post on its website trumpets the "nonpartisan, nonprofit grassroots organization" effort to join the federal lawsuit against Florida, on the side of the state's effort to purge its voter rolls.    

 

At the end of its recent press release, True The Vote states that:  "True the Vote, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization based in Houston, TX has developed an exportable model with which to train poll workers across the country and equip grassroots leaders and volunteers for involvement at every stage of the electoral process. The organization promotes ideas that actively protect the rights of legitimate voters, regardless of their political party affiliation."
