#iv3 — Public Fediverse posts

Election officials across the country have been inundated with 🔸dubious complaints about inaccurate voter rolls, 🔸which have wasted government resources and sapped taxpayer money spent reviewing lists of registered voters that officials say are already carefully maintained, a CNN investigation has found.

One of the main drivers of the fruitless challenges is a conservative Texas-based nonprofit group called ♦️True the Vote, ♦️an election-monitoring organization that 👉has long peddled debunked voter-fraud theories.
The group’s founder, #Catherine #Engelbrecht, has called on followers to help "clean" voter rolls by using an app called #IV3
that enables users to research voter data and submit voter-eligibility challenges to local election offices.

The activists say they are merely trying to help clean voter rolls to prevent fraud,
but their challenges have been riddled with #errors and have at times included vulnerable groups,
such as people registered to vote at assisted-living facilities and homeless shelters, documents obtained by CNN show.
