The extraction matches the passage, which says the speaker and their group did a canvassing effort to check the government's work and then spent four years in court.

What was said

… Expose election abuse and demand accountability. These are things that they are attempting to convince audiences to do more of. Now, I got sued for this, exposing election abuse and demanding accountability. We went and we did a canvassing effort to check the government's work and spent the next four years of our lives in court, and we're about to have to go back for another trial. But sure, if you're fighting the Trump administration, then you should absolutely do those things. Unbelievable. Defend audiences: here's how you approach them.

What we found

Supports. The 2023 final pretrial order in the Colorado case shows the NAACP, League of Women Voters and Mi Familia Vota sued defendants Smith, Epp and Kasun under the Voting Rights Act and KKK Act, which aligns with a litigation timeline spanning about four years.[1][3]

Supports. The defendants' advocacy pages say they canvassed Colorado counties to verify voting records in 2021, were sued in March 2022, and that the case went to trial and is on appeal, consistent with years of litigation following a canvassing effort.[2][3]

Contradicts. No source contradicts the claim that the speaker spent four years in court after the canvassing effort.

Context. The canvassing and litigation accounts come from the defendants' own allies (a self-published fundraising page and an opinion column), and the sources do not clearly tie the post's speaker to the named defendants, so the personal link rests on the post itself.[2][3]
