True the Vote Pushes Noncitizen Voting Conspiracy Theories
In April, the election denial group True the Vote (TTV) launched an initiative called “The 611 Project,” named after the statute that forbids non-citizens from voting in federal elections. Like TTV’s earlier claims of “ballot stuffing,” the project is based entirely on a conspiracy theory touted by TTV’s leaders; this time, they claim that the Biden Administration has “weaponized all agencies of the federal government” to push fraudulent voter registration by migrants. TTV produced a handbook to accompany The 611 Project, which a recent Talking Points Memo fact-check described as being “riddled with errors.” Unfortunately, TTV doesn’t need real evidence of voter fraud to influence law enforcement officials and spread disinformation. Just this week, a leaked trove of messages revealed that TTV’s senior leaders collaborated with QAnon influencers to compile “evidence” against Konnech, an election software company. This scheme eventually culminated with the arrest of Konnech’s owner, though the charges were dropped. 
 
In 2023, CfA urged the IRS to investigate TTV for improperly funneling money to senior employees of the organization, which operates as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3). CfA also filed a complaint regarding illegal political activity undertaken by TTV, which declared itself a “partner” of the Georgia Republican Party.
