"True the vote" was created by a right-wing activist featured on the notorious Andrew Breitbart's "Big Government" right-wing smear machine. Here is a partial bio of TTV's Catherine Engelbrecht, who works in the oil industry in Texas: "Prior to 2008, Catherine had little involvement in the political arena. She was what could be called a “life activist” . . . During the Presidential campaign of 2008, she watched as government and politicians made decisions that stood in stark contrast to the American ideals of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness . . . and the conservative, Judeo-Christian values on which [America] was founded. . . . In 2009 she helped found King Street Patriots. . . ." The King Street Patriots group has been accused of intimidating voters: http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/politics&id=7750142 With the magic of "TTV's" supposed petition verification software, they claim that the over 20,000 signatures filed in the effort to recall Scott Fitzgerald somehow included so many "blank lines" that the number of actual valid petition signatures is purportedly only 12,833. The notion that there were almost 8,000 blank signatures or nearly 40% simply does not pass the laugh test. But, due to such sophisticated schemes as this supposedly independent verification system, some number of Wisconsin voters will likely be duped into thinking that the recall petition, if it is judged to be sufficient by the accountability board, is nevertheless illegitimate. Astonishing is one word to describe the claim made by her group.
