As red states continue to leave the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), an interstate voter roll maintenance organization with ties to Democratic activists, corporate media outlets are working overtime to label such states conspiracy theorists. Yet their reporting fails to mention ERIC’s ties to left-wing get-out-the-vote operations.
But new details surrounding ERIC’s origins, unveiled by Restoration of America and good government group VerityVote, show there’s no denying ERIC was developed to help leftists win elections.
As previously reported by The Federalist, ERIC is a voter list maintenance organization that ostensibly exists to clean state voter rolls. But ERIC does more to inflate state voter rolls than clean them, as it requires member states to send voter registration mailers to eligible but unregistered residents. ERIC creates these lists of eligible but unregistered residents using state DMV and social services data with the Center for Election Innovation and Research, one of two groups that funneled $419 million in grant funds from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to government election offices during the 2020 election. Such funds went overwhelmingly to the blue areas of swing states, funding Democratic GOTV efforts and tipping the election in then-candidate Joe Biden’s favor. ERIC officials claim, however, that the organization itself is strictly “bipartisan,” yet ERIC’s partisan beginnings suggest otherwise.
