"True the Vote is not only suing the IRS, but also taking action against the IRS employees who participated in the harassment of the voter education and election monitoring organization. Those employees could personally be held liable to pay damages that would be established in litigation," reports Caroline May at the Daily Caller. "Founder and president of True the Vote Catherine Engelbrecht explained in a conference call Thursday morning that in July of 2010 her organization filed an application for tax exemption. The request has been in limbo since then."
But government hasn't been idle in the intervening 34 months. In addition to being subjected to hundreds of questions and requests for thousands of documents by IRS, Engelbrecht and her family have been "audited by the IRS twice, subject to two unscheduled audits by ATF, one by OSHA, and the Texas-branch of the EPA."
UPDATE: Ms. Engelbrecht's organization is being represented by attorney Cleta Mitchell (more here).
