== History ==
True the Vote is an offshoot of the King Street Patriots, a nonprofit Tea Party organization founded by Engelbrecht〔 and mostly active in Texas. Several members of the King Street Patriots, including Engelbrecht, its president, were dissatisfied with the voting process in Harris County, Texas during the 2008 election, especially the shortage of poll workers, which they believed "invited fraud and other problems at the polls,"〔True the Vote: (history ) Accessed February 22, 2012〕 and founded the second group in summer 2009.
