Raleigh, N.C. Apr 1, 2022 10:24 a.m: The State Board of Elections invites the public to comment on two new administrative rules that are being proposed to allow specifically permitted individuals to access information that voting system vendors place in escrow as part of the state certification of those systems. The comment period is now open and ends May 31. A virtual public hearing will be held at 10 a.m. April 27. This escrowed information includes proprietary and highly sensitive information for certified voting systems, including source codes for voting machines and election management systems and their software. These rules are designed to ensure that a narrowly defined group of individuals authorized by state law may review this information without risking the disclosure of proprietary information belonging to vendors or the disclosure of features of voting systems that could be exploited by malicious actors to compromise the integrity of elections. This group includes the State Board of Elections, county boards of elections that purchase voting systems, the NC Department of Information Technology, and the chairs of recognized political parties, in accordance with G.S. 163-165.7(a)(6). “These rules are an important step forward in ensuring transparency in our elections, while also protecting sensitive information as necessary to keep our elections secure,” said Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the State Board of Elections. The text of the proposed rules may be found here: Authorized Access to Escrow Materials Proposed Rule 08 NCAC 04 .0308 (PDF) Nondisclosure Agreement for Review of Escrowed Materials Proposed Rule 08 NCAC 04 .0309 (PDF) Methods for Public Comment Public comment may be made through any of the following methods: Online: Rulemaking Public Comment Portal Email: rulemaking.sboe@ncsbe.gov Mail: Attn: Rulemaking Coordinator, 6400 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27603-1362 Comment period ends: May 31, 2022 Upcoming Public Hearing A virtual public hearing will be held as follows: Date: 10 a.m. April 27, 2022 Location: Webex, or by telephone dial-in (415) 655-0003; access code 2438 018 7935 ###

Remember the Medicaid Expansion Bill the NC Senate tried to pass in the NC House? It didn't pass in the House but that's not stopping the dishonest powers that be. This is the sinister plot to get it passed ... The House leadership ( Tim Moore and Rep John Bell) were all along working with Senate Leader Pro Tempore Phil Berger to get a deal done with Evil Gov Cooper on a Budget deal tied to Medicaid Expansion. Even though the House GOP Caucus voted NOT to go forward, Moore is forcing it anyway - through the Health Committee. The plan is to assign the bill to the Health Committee and line up the votes (working with the Dems). They plan to run the bill in December 2022 (Yes, a special session after the election) so they can more easily get it passed. Unforgivable! Infuriating! You wonder why the nation is failing!? The pressure is on. Call Burger, Bell and your NC House Reps and tell them you know of their plot and this will become an election issue in November. The GOP won't hold them accountable. So WE Must!!! (By the way, they may deny this. It's reliable info from inside source. Put them on notice!)

New organization trains volunteers to make elections more secure (carolinajournal.com) The North Carolina Election Integrity Team (NCEIT, pronounced “insight”) seeks to fill that gap by training election observers and other election integrity leaders throughout North Carolina. To help push that effort along, the Election Integrity Network hosted the North Carolina Statewide Election Integrity Summit in partnership with NCEIT and other state and national organizations (including the John Locke Foundation) on June 10–11 in Raleigh. We had the opportunity to observe how summit leaders trained volunteers on how to build election integrity infrastructure in their communities. The summit included training, building grassroots teams to hold elections officials accountable, and researching left-wing groups that have integrated themselves within the State Board of Elections and county election boards. It also included training on effectively filing election complaints and protecting vulnerable voters (such as nursing home patients) from absentee ballot fraud. And, of course, the summit included election observer training. Participants learned how volunteers in the 2021 election in Virginia politely but firmly held elections officials accountable and how the “Virginia model” can be applied in North Carolina and elsewhere. Participants also practiced skits and various scenarios that observers have encountered, such as dealing with aggressive poll workers. NCEIT has already conducted training sessions across North Carolina to train volunteers to create local teams that will further train election observers and other election integrity volunteers in their communities. If you want to be part of the election integrity solution in North Carolina, you can contact them to see when a training session will be in your area. NCEIT.org

https://americanpolicy.org/2022/08/29/eric-the-epicenter-of-voter-fraud/ ERIC – THE EPICENTER OF VOTER FRAUD IT’S BEEN PROVEN AGAIN AND AGAIN The American Policy Center has been kicking over rocks in the election fraud jungle for the better part of the last year. ERIC, the Electronic Registration Information Center is under every one, buried in the slime of intransigence, ignorance, and plausible deniability. Most state officials choose to defend or ignore it. Even some supposed “conservatives” want to wash over the truth. This MUST stop. America MUST recognize ERIC for what it is – the epicenter of the voter fraud in the nation today. Since early February, 2022, we at the APC have been reporting on ERIC. I personally have written six articles on election integrity, showing what ERIC is and what it does, as well as what we can do about it. I have learned a tremendous amount from experts along the way. My writings are listed at the end of this article. From the very first, I tagged ERIC as a backbone of the Steal. Everything that I researched about voter fraud and its sources leads to ERIC. Every rock overturned has ERIC beneath it. ERIC is a membership organization ostensibly created for voter roll maintenance. In reality, it is a massive data-gathering operation which adds bogus “voters” to the system of every member state. Millions of inactive, ineligible and “phantom” voters with undeliverable addresses appear on member states’ voter rolls. These names are used for mail-in ballot fraud, ballot box stuffing and machine adjustments in real time. ERIC was started in 2012 using Soros funds donated through the Pew Charitable Trust. It was conceived and organized by a highly unethical leftist named David Becker, who has spent a lifetime trying to defeat the conservative agenda in America. Becker also played a role in the Wisconsin fraud of 2020, and has been openly named for more unethical and illegal activities, by Michael Gableman, former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, author of the Wisconsin Election Review. Here is the link to Gabelman’s report. Others have termed Becker a “partisan progressive”. I don’t have the patience for fancy names. I invite you to learn more from the Hon. Michael Gabelman and from the site below. Then, decide for yourself what YOU would like to call David Becker. As you may or may not know, states are required by law to maintain their voter rolls. Becker played off of this. He beguiled state election officials, using language of plausible deniability, to provide an easy and relatively cheap system for doing this. Becker counted on the fact that busy officials would bite on something that they thought would make their lives easier. He was correct. Seven states joined the first year. Another interstate voter roll maintenance system was in place and being used quite successfully by 40 states, at ERIC’s inception. “Kansas Crosscheck” was free to its members. So, using a Soros-funded, Obama-appointed judge to hear a trumped-up case about imaginary “voter suppression” brought by the ACLU, one of the usual pay-per-whine plaintiffs, Crosscheck was shut down, and new members came pouring in to ERIC. It grew quickly, from 7 – 31 member states. After all, those busy state election officials needed a quick fix, and ERIC was in position to “help”. Today 33 states and the District of Columbia are ERIC members: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, *, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. *Louisiana resigned as of July 15, 2022, thanks to the actions of citizen activists. * * * To understand the damage ERIC does, you must know that the very construct of ERIC is designed for fraud and data- gathering, not roll maintenance. Member states must turn in ALL data from their voter rolls, both old and new, as well as all records from motor vehicle divisions and every public service agency in the state. ERIC takes all of these lists, and adds the USPS data and Social Security records from the state. All of this information on every person living in each state is stored in ERIC’s massive artificial intelligence system. Whether you are a voter or not, whether you are a CITIZEN or not, your name and personal information are stored with ERIC. In return for giving over the private records of millions of its residents, ERIC members receive four lists: who moved; who died; who was adjudicated ineligible from felony conviction or mental incompetence; and who is eligible but unregistered to vote (EBU). States must solicit at least 90% of these EBU’s at least every 60 days providing them with voter registration information. ERIC’s rules also disallow any name being marked as to citizenship. Florida has, in fact, removed the checkbox for citizenship from its drivers’ license app. Other states may have followed suit. The law requires that this sensitive data be kept private, but records show that ERIC shares with at least Zuckerberg ‘s group, the “Center for Election Integrity”, and, surely anywhere else it can be used for fraud. ERIC’s own website brags about how many new “voters” they have added nationwide. Nowhere can you find a word about how many ineligible voters have been cleaned from the rolls. Wasn’t this latter the purpose for ERIC? Yeah, not so much. I will say it again. The design and operation of the ERIC system is for bloating, not cleaning voter rolls. As a matter of real fact, ERIC’s mandates include only a conditional requirement for list maintenance. Recently, I have noticed that the ERIC bylaws no longer appear on their website. Millions of names who may never vote end up on the rolls. They are people who have moved from the state, choose not to vote, or have died. The “who moved and who died” are the richest lists for fake ballot submission. These phantom names show up on requests for mail-in ballots, mailing lists from state election officials, and even in the CVR’s (counted vote records) after en election. Many of these quite probably were the stuff put into drop boxes by the “Mules”on the midnight to 3 a.m. shift. These bloated voter rolls are quite obvioius in the records of each state from the 2020 election. According to the report issued by the US Election Assistance Commission, itself a liberal group, the 2020 numbers are as follows. Over 50% of ERIC members have voter rolls that contain more names than their entire voting age population. To whit: *AK: 121.7% *IL: 108.2 *MI: 108.1 *ME: 106.9 *KY: 106.5 *DE: 104.1 *GA: 103.6 *RI: 102.0 *SC: 101.8 *FL: 101.6 *NV: 101.0 *AL: 100.9 *MD: 100.4 *WA: 100.0 *Figures not available for new members, NJ and MA. My recent article on “Settling the Confusion about ERIC”, gives more numbers for other states. The link to it is at the end of this article. Of course, there will always be inaccuracies in voter lists. None will ever be perfect. People do move around, and die, become incapacitated or commit a crime. Some just don’t care about voting. That is their right, sadly. But the massive numbers of ineligible voters appearing on so many states’ rolls is no coincidence. It is contrived. Face it. David Becker did not develop ERIC to create honest and up-to-date voter rolls. That is crystal clear from who he is, as well as from the design of his system. He is proud of his reputation as a far-left member of the Swamp. Being politically neutral is not in his nature. Just as he worked to help the City of Boston discriminate against conservative voters – behind the back of his own employer the DOJ – so too, did he design a massive get-out-the vote scheme to defraud Americans. Becker pretends that he is no longer involved in the management of ERIC, but is documented to be an active part, to this day. Please do read about him at Influence Watch, above. You’ll never doubt his motive or design. * * * In the recent weekend symposium, A Moment of Truth, activists from 48 of the 50 states reported on their states’ major problems with election integrity. EVERY ERIC member reported problems with hugely bloated voter rolls. Many reported that state officials were unwilling to discuss the issues, or are even openly hostile on the subject of clean elections. Activists told stories about being stone-walled by legislators, deprived of information that is legally theirs, even jailings and fatal accidents. The dark passion for fraud runs deep. The entire broadcast of “A Moment for Truth” should be available at Rumble. If it is not, well, you know what may have happened. So goes much that is truth today. ERIC was called out by name many times over the two days of the broadcast. The Hon. Michael Gabelman, former Supreme Court Justice of Wisconsin, went into the role of ERIC in some detail. Here is a summary of his findings. Despite the obvious connection of the ERIC system to voter fraud, its leading role was somehow side-lined, ignored. For many months, late in 2021 and the first half of 2022, nobody wanted to talk about it. Folks who had written against it in 2016 and 2017, suddenly supported it. Others tried to hush discussion and debate on the subject. It seemed to many, including me, that “the word” had gone around. ERIC was off limits. This only made me more certain than ever that ERIC was where we should be looking, even above machines, ballot harvesters or mules. However, a number of recent articles on election fraud have now been published by The Federalist, The New American, UncoverDC, Revolver News and The Epoch Times. All discuss ERIC by name, and advocate states getting out asap. One very in-depth report by Verity Vote did a particularly good job in breaking through the smoke and mirrors. It’s title, “Threats to Election Integrity” ERIC-CEIR-REVERE. Although I printed it out, I cannot find the link. Again, not unusual if something is too full of truth. Another online article went missing, only 12 hours after it was published. On August 23, an article by Patricia Tolson appeared in the Epoch Times. It dealt at some length with problems in Florida. Ms. Tolson covered a report released by a group of citizen activists in Florida. It found real problems, not only with uncooperative election officials, inconsistent roll management, but also “problems with ERIC”. Tolson also revealed that Florida allows third-party registration of voters. Gosh and golly, how could THAT possibly pollute the voter rolls? I’ve got no link to give you because there isn’t one. Other Florida activists have done amazing work as well. Florida4America and The People’s Audit have proven thousands of undeliverable addresses on the rolls of their counties, to which addresses ballots were mailed, and from which they were returned, VOTED. They can show fake street names being added to the rolls, then removed after ballots were voted from those addresses. These ordinary citizens gave up jobs, dipped deeply into personal savings, walked miles to canvass, spent long hours over spread sheets. The fruit of their labors was presented to the statehouse in Tallahassee in the form of charts, graphs and stacks of affidavits from voters. Crickets. They bought a page in a local paper, to display the facts they have found, to call attention to the plight of Florida voters. That paper refused to print it because the editor said they “didn’t have the facts”! When they presented the proof to their county officials, they were called liars – with the evidence of boxes FULL of yellow returned-mail labels (where ballots had been sent) in plain sight. A press conference was called specially to accuse them (of presenting the truth?) That particular Supervisor of Election even went so far as to submit their names to DeSantis’s new Election Crimes Division as having dealt in “disinformation.” This is utterly chilling. Even in a supposed “good red state”, its citizens who care are being denounced and targeted. The way these good people have been treated in their own state is stunning. To many, it is hard to fathom this kind of thing coming from the state governed by such a popular Republican Governor. It is entirely possible that Gov. DeSantis is being blocked from the citizens’ information by backroom players, as was President Trump during his White House stay. We can only hope that the powers that be in Florida take note and take action, asap. Recently, I interviewed one of their leaders, Kris Jurski, of The People’s Audit, twice on Catching Fire News, an online video news outlet. Listen to him explain their efforts. What they have accomplished, what they have been able to prove working together with citizens from around the state is truly amazing. Their work is both an inspiration and a model for others who want to understand how they may help. Why are they and their information being attacked? For every effort to explain and expose the truth about ERIC, there has been blow back. It was expected from the Blue states of course. What was unanticipated – although maybe that was just naivete on my part – was the attack on good activists with reams of proof, by Red state officials and even a few “Conservative” groups. It’s a part of the story that needs to be told. The people must be heard. Our country belongs to us. It’s time to reclaim it. Let’s just say, it’s been a long row to hoe, turning up and exposing what we have about ERIC. Until now. We at American Policy Center are delighted and gratified to learn of so many that are now calling the ERIC system out for exactly what it is, and for exposing the guts of the ugly fraud beast. We hope that this will help all groups in every state to gain traction pulling together for our freedom. * * * No one needs to be reminded that it is our God-given right to vote, to select those who will represent us in governance. This is what has made America the bright star of freedom for the world. There is today, however, a well-defined and -funded entity who would bring down our Republic and everything about our lives that we hold dear. To do so, they are coming after our ballots, and have crafted a weapon known as ERIC to help conquer us. Do NOT let it happen! We have but one more election to be free. If we allow this kind of frontal assault on liberty to happen again, we will go the way of Venezuela, and lose our freedom forever. Join hands in your own community. Go to public meetings, stand on the courthouse steps. Make your voices heard. Come to https://www,americanpolicy.org for what to do and how. It is not too late. Get off the couch and out the door.

I suggest you print this out and hand deliver it to your local county Board of Elections. September 3, 2022 is most likely the retention expiration data for election records from the 2020 election cycle. Jim Womack filed a CVR Public Records Request in Lee County - sample language below. "I am not confident the request will be honored, but I will at least get my county on the record. Other counties may wish to attempt a similar request before end of day this Thursday. After that date, records will likely be destroyed." ADDRESS BLOCK SUBJECT: Request for ______ County Cast Vote Records from the November 3, 2020 General Election Cycle 1. I am requesting a text, comma, or tab delimited file or a text-based report, listing in the sequence processed by the county, every ballot, its sequential ID, its timestamp, its method of voting (e.g., in-person, mail-in, provisional, absentee, other, etc., - all ballot types that were tabulated as part of the 2020 election), the specific votes contained for all races, and the batch ID and tabulator ID for each file or report created in _________ County. Should any fields not be available, please include the fields which are available. 2. To be clear, I am not requesting a summary report of ballots. Instead, I am requesting a per-ballot report. This set of information is most often referred to by tabulator manufacturers as “Cast Vote Records” or CVRs, or as ballot logs. If the data exists as multiple files or reports, please send them as individual files or reports, not as aggregated files or reports. 3. I do not wish to receive any data that ties the CVRs to individual voters, nor will I use the CVRs in any manner for the purpose of identifying how any voter may have voted. 4. It is my understanding these CVR files are recorded on our county's ballot tabulators and that they are already deidentified as to the voter ID. It is my understanding the tabulators are set to print these electronic files on demand and that they are public records, releasable under the provisions of NCGS § 132-1. Public Records. 5. "Public records" shall mean all documents, papers, letters, maps, books, photographs, films, sound recordings, magnetic or other tapes, electronic data-processing records, artifacts, or other documentary material, regardless of physical form or characteristics, made or received pursuant to law or ordinance in connection with the transaction of public business by any agency of North Carolina government or its subdivisions. 6. I am requesting these CVRs be provided to me at no charge in an electronic format that is commonly machine readable and in a common media form such as a thumb drive or DVD disc. Signature Block

The NC General Assembly can limit the damage from ERIC, a Soros funded leftist group. Jim Womack, President, North Carolina Election Integrity Team (NCEIT), wrote a letter (see below) outlining why ERIC is bad for NC election integrity and what the legislature can do to box ERIC in to minimize the damage to election integrity. Jim's proposed solutions are what we need to make this an election issue with candidates in November. Section 26 of HB 103 - NC Budget Bill - gives the "NCSBE the authority to acquire or share highly sensitive information on NC drivers licenses, full social security numbers, or other personally identifiable, private information with this 501(c)3 organization (ERIC) . ... DOT or Social & Health Services data in particular - would be used to help ERIC identify unregistered voters that must be added to our voter rolls (with or without their consent)." ERIC member agreement allows ERIC to share NC data with other third party organizations (namely the Center for Election Innovation & Research or CEIR), without control or permission from our state authorities. That data will be used to help left-leaning organizations - like CEIR - target unregistered or newly registered voters in NC for absentee by mail flyers, ballot request forms, and leftist materials intended to shape voter opinions." From: Jim Womack Date: July 12, 2022 at 14:51:42 EDT To: paul.newton@ncleg.gov, ralph.hise@ncleg.gov, warren.daniel@ncleg.gov, grey.mills@ncleg.gov Cc: "Rep. John Sauls" , "Sen. Jim Burgin" , Cleta Mitchell Subject: Limiting the Potential Damage to North Carolina Election Integrity from House Bill 103 Sirs: Please take a look at the attached Electronic Registration Information System (ERIC) "By-Laws" our state will be asked to accept and specifically the Member Agreement (Exhibit A- pages 13-14) that someone must sign to allow ERIC's review and "list maintenance" of NC Voter files. (View the ERIC Bylaws and Membership Agreement) I do NOT believe our NCGA was aware they were giving the NCSBE the authority to acquire or share highly sensitive information on NC drivers licenses, full social security numbers, or other personally identifiable, private information with this 501(c)3 organization. Nor do I think the NCGA intends that other NC agency data -- DOT or Social & Health Services data in particular - would be used to help ERIC identify unregistered voters that must be added to our voter rolls (with or without their consent). Regardless of intent, House Bill 103 appears to give permission for the NCSBE to share data with this non-profit that my (NCEIT) team -- a professional, non-partisan 501(c)4 solely focused on ensuring Election Integrity in our state -- cannot acquire. Moreover, the NCGA is allowing NCSBE to sole source the sharing of this data at great cost (perhaps $25K or more) when NCEIT is available to provide the same (and probably more comprehensive and accurate) list maintenance services AT NO COST TO THE STATE. Further, the ERIC member agreement allows ERIC to share NC data with other third party organizations (namely the Center for Election Innovation & Research or CEIR), without control or permission from our state authorities. That data will be used to help left-leaning organizations - like CEIR - target unregistered or newly registered voters in NC for absentee by mail flyers, ballot request forms, and leftist materials intended to shape voter opinions. Two weeks ago, I met with Cleta Mitchell, five Secretaries of State (LA, WV, AL, FL, and MO), and reps from several nationally acclaimed election integrity agencies in Washington, D.C. All of us were genuinely concerned with the risks associated with ERIC. Several states are seriously considering withdrawal from ERIC (or limiting their commitments to ERIC) because of the organization's staffing and its ties to corrupt individuals and agencies. Yet, here we are in NC, sending money to an organization known for adding more people to state voter rolls and sharing our voter data with organizations funded by Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros. Here's my proposal. Exercising your authority for election oversight: 1. Instruct the NCSBE and other state agencies that no data may be shared with ERIC that is not also shared with NCEIT for prospective voter roll clean-up (i.e., list maintenance). 2. Specifically instruct NCSBE and NCDOT/DMV that no NC drivers license data is to be shared with ERIC that is not also shared with NCEIT, and in no case are social security numbers, in whole or in part, to be shared with any outside agency. 3. Instruct NCSBE that House Bill 103 is not to be construed to allow the signing of any member agreements with ERIC without prior review and approval of the respective NCGA election committees. (This is needed to comply with the policy provisions of Section XXI (Part 4) of the budget bill.) The voters of this state want free and fair elections conducted from verifiably accurate and reliable voter lists. House Bill 103 did not meaningfully change anything other than to guarantee that more voters will be added to our voter rolls- which are already woefully bloated with ineligible or inaccurate records. Please help us to help you fix our voter rolls. And please protect our future elections by consulting with our NCEIT team before granting any further authority to NCSBE in sharing sensitive NC voter info outside our state.

Announcing POSTPONEMENT of NC's Election Integrity Whistle Stop Tour until August 2022 (constantcontact.com) About this event North Carolina's "Whistle Stop" Tour on Election Integrity, originally scheduled for June 20-25 at venues across the state, will now be postponed to sometime in the month of August 2022. Following our magnificent Election Integrity Summit this past weekend, decisionmakers agreed this event is best tailored to do final recruiting and training for the state's election integrity volunteers during late summer. This event is being repurposed to focus efforts on preparation and training for the upcoming general election (October-November 2022). We will soon announce the dates and locations for all 13 stops across our great state in August.

ERIC Overview: · ERIC is the Electronic Registration Information Center, a small 501(c)3 organization with a mailing address in Washington, D.C. ERIC is presently being used in 31 states and the District of Columbia as a solution provider for “Voter List Maintenance” 1, 10 · Founded in 2012 by David Becker, formerly of People for the American Way. Becker is an experienced electionlawyer with a career rich in left-leaning projects.6, 18 · David Becker remains a board memberof ERIC. He also created the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) in 2016, which distributed $69 million in grants from Mark Zuckerberg and his Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) for the 2020 election.2, 3, 4, 5, 15 · Through David Becker’s membership on the ERIC Board, CEIR has direct ties to ERIC for information sharing. 1, 18, 21 · ERIC has not published an annual report since 2017. 10 · ERIC is a “sole source” organization with no direct competitor thanks to lawsuits that closed down the “Interstate Cross-Check” system which previously served the purpose of helping to identify duplicated voter registrations among the states. 17 · ERIC was originally funded by Soros’ Open Society. Leaked funding documentsshowed Soros partneredwith the Rockefeller Family Fund to push changes to voter registration policies at the national level. Soros also gave money to “Pew Centeron The States” to improve voter list maintenance practices.8, 9, 19, 20, 21 · ERIC promotes itself as a means of “improving the accuracy of America’s voter rolls.” In reality, ERIC operates a national voter registration driveto produce a database of everyone who could possibly produce a ballot. Example: Colorado is a 10-yearuser of ERIC; at least 40 of 64 Colorado counties now have more registered voters than residents eligible to vote. 11, 13, 14 · ERIC is granted regularaccess to the detailed and personally identifiable information for residents in 2/3 of our states. This organization creates the opportunity to produce ballots ripe for exploitation by left-wing organizations.13, 14 · The initial ERIC state membershipfee is $25,000. Additionally each member pays from $15,000 to $74,000 annually for ERIC services. This generates well over one million dollars in annual revenue for the work of the 3-person ERIC staff. 10 · ERIC sourced 17 millionnew voters for the 2020 election, the most in the historyof the organization. (By comparison, ERIC generated just 5.7 million new voters during Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.)12, 22 · The ERIC databases possess sufficient Eligible but Unregistered (EBU) voter data to influence a national election.9, 14 · In addition to the above list, Member Statesmust provide data on every individual in the state’s Motor Vehicle Department database- both licensed and ID recipients. This comprehensive combo of data includes the names, addresses, date of birth, license numbers, last 4 digits of social security numbers, voter activity, phone number, email address, title and type of citizenship documentation of: (a) Everyone who can generate a legal ballot; (b) Prospective voters approaching voting age; and (c) Non-citizens who have been issued an ID in a few states. 12, 13, 17 II. What happens with the lists that are generated from ERIC? · ERIC provides each member state with a targeted list of people that are not registered to vote. According to the ERIC membership agreement and bylaws, each state is required to contact at least 95% of the ERIC-identified unregistered prospects within 90 days, soliciting them to register. 12, 17 · There is no ERIC mandate or requirement for member states to purge their voter rolls of ineligible or illegal voters. States are “encouraged” but not required to request ERIC’s voter updates at least once a year. 12, 17 · According to ERIC member rules, “Under no circumstances shallthe members transmitany record indicating an individual is a non-citizen of the U.S.” 12, 17 · Some Member Statescurrently use ERIC to hide their list maintenance data,indicating it violates their ERIC vendor contracts, even though Federal law mandates that data be made public. 17, 23 · The 1993 NVRA (Motor Voter) law incudes “Public Disclosure Provision” which allows the public inspection of “voter list maintenance records.” States are required by federal law (1993 NVRA) to reportto Congress how many ineligible voters they removefrom the voter rolls-voters who fail to respond to an addressconfirmation request and fail to vote in two consecutive elections. 23 · Some ERIC member states merge public voter records and some private motor vehicle or drivers license datatogether, then claim the merged data must all remain protected, the data being non-releasable because it would violate the federal Driver’s Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) 17 · ERIC member states have an inferior record of list maintenance- removing 25% fewer voter registration records than their non-ERIC state counterparts. See the below chart – compiled from the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) EAVS Report from 2020. 22 III. NORTH CAROLINA LEGISLATIVE INTEREST · The North Carolina General Assembly (NCGA) should investigate why it is necessary to expend tens of thousands of dollars annually through a sole source, non-competitive contract for undefined “List Maintenance” functions using an out-of-state501(c)3 with ties to left-leaning organizations, when in-state 501(c)3’s and 501(c)4’s are ready to provide essentially the same service at no cost to the state. · Section XXVI of House Bill 103 (State Budget) authorizes the expenditure of federal HAVA appropriations for unspecified “List Maintenance” services, allowing the transmittal of Voter Registration and Voter History data to ERIC. Nowhere in this bill is there an authorization to sign an ERIC agreement committing the state to release of other (confidential) data, particularly DOT/DMV or DHHS client data. The NCGA should immediately and unambiguously instruct NCSBE and other state agencies that drivers license information, full or partial social security numbers, and dates of birth are not releasable to ERIC. · NCGS § 163-82.10(a1) clearly conveys, “Full or partial social security numbers, dates of birth, the identity of the public agency at which the voter registered under G.S. 163-82.20, any electronic mail address submitted under this Article, Article 20, or Article 21A of this Chapter, photocopies of identification for voting, and drivers license numbers, whether held by the State Board or a county board of elections, are confidential and shall not be considered public records and subject to disclosure to the general public under Chapter 132 of the General Statutes.” · In the event state agencies are permitted or required to transfer personally identifiable DOT/DMV or DHHS information to ERIC, then the same information should be made immediately available to the NCEIT Team (a much larger, in-state, non-partisan, 501(c)4 election integrity team with the tools needed to effectively assist the state in its “List Maintenance” requirements). · ERIC bylaws seem to indicate that ERIC will only commit to “List Maintenance” support once the ERIC Member Agreement is signed. The NCGA ought to demand review and pre-approval of that Member Agreement prior to authorizing NCSBE to transmit any agency data beyond Voter Registration and Voter History data to ERIC. The ERIC Member Agreement has innumerable legal requirements, some of which likely conflict with NC General Statutes. · The NCGA should insist that all ERIC personnel using NC agency data sign a non-disclosure agreement, agreeing not to share that data with any third party organizations without the expressed written consent of the NCGA. · According to NC’s List Maintenance documentation, under § 163-82.14. List maintenance,the organization receives DMV and other state agency information on a frequent basis, info they shouldbe using to check for in-state duplicate registrations, felons and dead voters. ERIC support is not needed to improve the identification of dead, ineligible, or in-state movers we have already identified through NC list maintenance groups. IV.
