Proud Liberal Dem

What happened with the "True the Vote" folks? [View all]

They seemed poised to muck up elections all over the country in the name of preventing "voter fraud" by showing up at polling places and challenging (Democratic) voters. Did anybody encounter/witness them where they voted and did they make much of an impact on the election (if any)?
