“Our objective is to encourage Christians to engage peacefully, ethically, and legally within the system,”
Standifer said by email.
“Any suggestion that we are encouraging inappropriate behavior is simply false and part of an ongoing effort to discourage Christians from participating in civic processes.”
Like Lion of Judah, True the Vote has established a repository to receive complaints and concerns from poll workers on Election Day:
an app called VoteAlert.
The platform asks users to submit information and to specify if they are poll workers,
because “it helps us to better anticipate a way in which to potentially support or find resources for you, if you’re serving,”
founder #Catherine #Engelbrecht said during a virtual training in September.
The app includes a disclaimer that users agree to follow federal and state laws limiting the ability to record in polling places.
She said her team vets every report before posting it on its platform.
However, the public feed included a report that a polling place in Delaware held a bake sale enticing people to vote for certain candidates,
which would be illegal.
The post contained a photograph that a reverse image search revealed was at least seven years old.
Engelbrecht said she would review details about the bake sale report but otherwise declined to comment.
The organization said by email the post “was part of our beta testing period” before its app launched.
After the ProPublica-Wisconsin Watch inquiry, the group removed the post.
Many of those recruiting poll workers have connections to Trump or his allies.
Lion of Judah’s most recent Tennessee annual corporation filing, obtained through a public records request,
was submitted by #Miles #Terry, an attorney whose law firm partner represented Trump in his first impeachment proceeding.
Terry did not respond to calls and emails seeking comment.
