There is a reason the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)<\/a> targeted conservative groups. There is also a reason that many establishment politicians in both parties have not necessarily given their full efforts to the investigation of the IRS. When an investigation of this sort takes years, it is a pretty good bet that someone does not want the investigation to succeed.<\/p>\n

One of the groups targeted by the IRS was True the Vote<\/a>. I first became aware of True the vote and its founder,\u00a0Catherine Engelbrecht, in September 2010 (rightwinggranny.com<\/a>). The group’s effort was directed toward ensuring that the voting<\/a> in Harris County, Texas<\/a>, included only people who were entitled to vote. They have continued their efforts to ensure the integrity of American elections.<\/span><\/p>\n

Breitbart.com<\/a> is reporting today that True the Vote has gotten involved in the recent Republican primary<\/a> held in Mississippi<\/a>. Republican establishment candidate Thad Cochran<\/a> defeated conservative Chris McDaniel<\/a> in a primary run-off election<\/a>. Mississippi voting laws state that a person who voted in the Democrat primary election this year is not eligible to vote in the Republican run-off election. There are some real questions as to whether or not that law and other voting laws were enforced.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll we are asking is that the MS State Republican Party follow the law; allow their designated county representatives to inspect the poll books and ballots, give them the review time they are permitted by law, and allow them to uphold their responsibility to MS voters,\u201d True the Vote president Catherine Engelbrecht said in a statement about the suit. \u201cTrue the Vote has been inundated with reports from voters across Mississippi who are outraged to see the integrity of this election being undermined so that politicos can get back to business as usual. Enough is enough.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

True The Vote wants the federal judge to order the state party and Secretary of State\u2019s office to allow independent verification of the election results to ensure there were no \u201cillegal votes.\u201d Such votes could come as fraudulently cast absentee ballots\u2014the runoff saw a massive spike in absentees over the primary a few weeks earlier\u2014or by Democrats who voted in the June 24 GOP primary runoff after having voted in the June 3 Democratic primary. Other potentially fraudulent votes could come from Democrats voting in the Republican primary who don\u2019t intend to support the Republican they voted for on June 24 in November\u2019s general election, though intent is difficult to prove. There are further allegations of vote-buying<\/a> surfacing this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the establishment Republican party fighting for its life against the Tea Party. Because the establishment Republican party has become almost indistinguishable from the Democrat party<\/a>, they are losing votes as people are looking for an alternative party. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
