“True the Vote”? It would help their cause, and would help them to be taken seriously, if their title actually meant something in standard English. I sympathize entirely with the purpose, but it is too bad they had to muddy the waters and use use a phrase more suitable to Ebonics for their cause’s name.

I disagree. It means exactly what it says and is stated in quasi-Engineering terms.

To 'true' something is to align it so that it is in its optimal position to accomplish its intended purpose.
