Newly acquired public records reveal that the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) shares data with the Zuckerberg-affiliated group Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR). This is just unreal! In other words, CEIR is using ERIC to promote their corrupt and partisan political ends.
As per the article at 100PercentFedUp.com, emails obtained by the Public Interest Legal Foundation show Rhode Island Elections Director Rob Rock working with CEIR to facilitate the secure transfer of ERIC member data to this private, third-party organization run by ERIC founder and ex-board member David Becker.
These revelations, while shocking, establish a pattern with documents retrieved from Georgia. A September 2020 email obtained via public records request by Verity Vote reveals a complex process wherein Georgia elections officials transmit data through ERIC to CEIR and generates a list of eligible-but-unregistered individuals to target with registration mailers (paid for by states). That list is then transmitted from CEIR back to ERIC, and finally on to the states.
Eligible-but-unregistered individuals are the key to ERIC’s value as a data aggregator for the activist Left. Unlike traditional data vendors or campaigns, ERIC has access to personal information protected by federal privacy laws—information that has been transmitted to the partisan CEIR since at least 2020. Journalists and election integrity researchers have sought this crucial information for years, yet many in “progressive” media seem totally uninterested in digging deeper with this relationship. Worse yet, major liberal news outlets spread election disinformation by asserting that ERIC and CEIR have no connection whatsoever. They obviously do.
The sad truth is that ERIC was formed to funnel election-winning voter data to leftist groups, helping to turn red states purple. Yet many on the Left refuse to engage with the facts, preferring to ridicule skeptics as “far-right” conspiracy theorists.
Nearly $70 million from liberal billionaire Mark Zuckerberg was spent to push election “reforms” in 2020 and we know that in 2011 George Soros’s “Foundation to Promote Open Society” provided seed funding for the “voter registration modernization initiative” that ultimately became ERIC. When you dig into ERIC’s origins and troubling ties to groups responsible for crafting the Left’s electoral strategy, you understand more fully why its so important to get off ERIC .
Americans deserve to know the truth about how their elections are run.
