For decades the Democrats and leftists have fought ferociously to prevent the cleanup of State voter registration rolls. Recognizing a potential niche, left wing activists created ERIC to clean voter rolls their way, using their rules. So in 2012 the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) was formed as a membership organization primarily for blue States. ERIC is essentially a left wing voter registration drive disguised as voter roll clean up. But it’s been gaining traction in Red States too. Originally funded by the Soros Open Society, it is now responsible for cleaning the voter rolls in 31 States, plus D.C. A top election official from each member State is appointed a seat on the ERIC Board or as an Officer, all unpaid positions.
ERIC located 17 million new voters for the 2020 election, the most in the history of their organization. For comparison, they only found 5.7 million in 2012, Obama’s reelection.
The ERIC database is comprehensive and would be one of the most coveted by bad actors looking to influence an election. Member States must not only submit all details on inactive and active voters to ERIC every 60 days. But they must also provide every individual in their states Motor Vehicle Department database, both licensed and ID recipients. This combo of data is breathtaking. It’s everyone who could generate a legal ballot. It includes those approaching voting age, even those here illegally yet issued an ID by their left leaning State. This data includes names, addresses, DOB, License #, last 4 of social #, voter activity, phone, email, title and type of citizenship documentation, and much more!
ERIC doesn’t just manage lists, they demand action. But it’s not the action you would expect, like cleaning voter rolls. ERIC provides each member State a targeted list of people that are not registered to vote. The Membership Bylaws require the State to contact at least 95% of these people within 90 days, soliciting them to register. ERIC also wants specific registration profiles updated and requires the State to contact these voters within 90 days too. It’s essentially a left wing voter registration drive all paid for by the States, not the Democrat Party. The membership fee is $25,000 but costs can run into the millions to fund the activities and membership dues…
ERIC uses advanced technology including Artificial Intelligence from Senzing. This data matching AI compares information collected by member states with USPS address data and Social Security death records. But no one knows how else this data collected from the 31 States is being used. J. Christian Adams recently discussed ERIC in a Breitbart podcast interview (starts 1:16:50). Adams says: “That’s part of the smoke screen. ERIC learns who gets registered from their program, so they’re able to micro target with whoever is partnered with ERIC. We don’t know who their interfacing all this data with. It could be Catalist, the massive Democrat database organization. We just don’t know. I’ve talked to some ERIC Board Members who are Secretary of States. They don’t even know what ERIC is doing. They’ve asked questions and can’t get answers…”
ERIC was funded by an “anonymous” donor and The Pew Center On The States. This grant was provided by the George Soros Open Society. David Becker, an experienced Democrat election lawyer, left the Justice Department to create the ERIC architecture. Originally a blue State project, ERIC had 11 member states by 2014 and 22 by 2017. ERIC has not published an annual report since 2017, almost 5 years ago. Becker, who still has a seat on the ERIC board, went on to create the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) in 2016. He distributed $69.5 million in grants from Zuckerberg for the 2020 election using similar methods as CTCL.
Our elections need our prayers! How are you praying? Please share in the comments.

ERIC was created to get states to pay for Democratic voter registration drives plus provide the personalized data to make it more effective. No Republican state should be a part of this sham.
How stupid can State people be?? Anything connected with Soros is slanted to a very liberal left wing premise. It would seem people are too lazy to do the work and are relying on AI systems to do it for them. We are losing this nation because of the crooked elections thanks to this ERIC system. Our whole society is crumbling from within thanks to people like George Soros and others who have thrown out belief in God, the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. What is left is chaos and we are seeing it played out. Lucifer at his best!
Actually, ERIC has a web site which whoever wrote this article should have checked before saying some of things said here. The website provides up date answers to frequently asked questions here:

When it was first formed the red states outnumbered the blue states; now they are about even.
Letter from its director decrying misinformation about ERIC is here:

Don’t succumb to paranoia based on ignorance! ERIC is
Isn’t a state violating privacy rights by furnishing all this personal information to E.R.I.C. along with the U.S.P.S. coordination? It is no wonder identity theft is increasing daily!
Every Conservative should be trying to stop their state from using ERIC.
Please go to omega4america. Implementing the omega4america approach in every state we can is probably the most important thing we need to do between now and 2024 elections to make them fair.
I live in Tarrant County, Texas. I have been an active Conservative Republican since 1988. I have always been of the opinion that to win we need to get the Republicans out to vote especially those that call themselves conservative Christians. I did not seek to convert people especially near the election. Our current election early voting starts next week yet good I think naive people have Aps on their phones all automated from the Republican Party with people who are independents, weak democrats as well as strong and moderate meaning they vote all the time or once in a while. Is this part of the ERIC voter cleansing and finding new voters strategy. I know during the 2020 election our Texas Republican party was being lead by Karl Rove and Libertarians. Who needs fraud when we have them at the helm. Are you aware of fraud in Tarrant County during the 2020 election? Our local Republican leaders are saying that our machines were fine and there was little or no fraud. I am wondering if they don’t want to stir up controversy at this time for fear of hurting this upcoming election. Peggy
My question also is do you think it is wise to try to change people’s minds so close to an election. I think just get your Republicans out to vote. Also is ERIC used in Texas. I see we are a member. Do the Republicans use ERIC?
We have never had a problem with ERIC in VA. The only people removed from our voting rolls are those who we know have moved or died. Since we do not register by party, we do not know the political affiliation of the voters who are eventually purged
How do you remove all the illegals and green card holders which ERIC requires be rolled into your lists??? Believe me, you DO have a problem with ERIC.
They don’t remove them. ERIC is horrible for election integrity. DEMS will do all they can to use it.
Magnificent Heavenly Father and Powerful Lord Jesus Christ! I ask You to protect Intercessors for America from all evil, seen and unseen, in the flesh and in the spirit, north south east and west, above and below, in front and behind, from within to without, and please do not let satan or his people have any victory or inroads into Intercessors for America’s work, or any intercessors around the world on behalf of America!
Your article painted ERIC in a pretty sinister light and I thought I’d check for other viewpoints on the internet. The following 2 minute to read article from PEW turned up, and I’d be interested in what you think of it:
This page was updated Jan. 29, 2018, to reflect the most recent number of ERIC states.
Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments for Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute, a case dealing with voter registration procedures, during which counsel for both sides recommended that state election officials engage the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) to improve voter registration systems. One described it as a “state-of-the-art interstate database” that can help improve access to and the integrity of a state’s voter registration process.
ERIC is a sophisticated data matching center that is owned, funded, and operated by participating states. Through ERIC, states get access to an advanced tool to “anonymize” and analyze their voter rolls and match data against records from other states and some federal agencies. This allows state election officials to better recognize registrations that may need updating or cancellation and to identify and contact eligible citizens who have not registered to vote.
ERIC has informed member states of more than 8 million voters who have moved from their addresses on file but not registered at their new addresses; more than 200,000 deceased individuals still on the rolls; and over 25 million eligible but unregistered Americans, including more than 14 million in 2016.
The Husted case involves a challenge to voter registration list maintenance procedures in Ohio, which is an ERIC member state. Counsel representing the Ohio secretary of state noted that the state’s work with ERIC is something the court should view very favorably, specifically calling attention to the more than 1.6 million eligible but unregistered Ohioans who were identified and then contacted by the state with instructions about how to register vote.
ERIC launched in 2012 with seven member states and with assistance from The Pew Charitable Trusts. Its ranks have since swelled to 23, with Arizona and Missouri joining most recently after receiving grants from Pew to help with startup costs. Several more states are expected to join before the 2018 general election.
ERIC is dedicated to the highest standards of security and protection of citizens’ privacy and personally identifiable information. To this end, it converts voter records into an indecipherable string of characters that is unreadable and unusable for potential hackers. To strengthen these security measures, all records are sent through this anonymization process twice—first at the state level, before the data is sent to ERIC, and then by ERIC when it receives the data.
Alexis Schuler is senior director and Samuel Derheimer is senior manager of election initiatives for The Pew Charitable Trusts.
They seem to be on a path to register everyone, even if it is someone who does not care enough to make the effort to do so. People who do not care should not be pushed into it. Once everyone is registered, election fraud could become even easier. While it could be a good thing, if it is used to clean the rolls, overall it is concerning.
I could not have said it better myself!🙏
Father, we pray that you would halt the evil that can be foisted on our nation in ERIC. Give our leaders eyes to see and the will to fight for righteousness and against corruption. Save our elections. But whatever happens, may we your people trust you. Jesus is coming soon; may we spread your word quickly, spreading the seeds of God’s word that many may come to you in these last days.
Stealing an election and transgressing the rule of law is treason. Ungodly prodeath agendas must be stopped. We the people have been grievously affected by the psy ops (psychological warfare) that communism has been subverting on US for over a half century that I know of. [EPOCH TIMES]
Lord God give us the wisdom, guidance and protection needed to help bring “peace on earth and goodwill to humankind” .
Fellow Americans, unite.
Nothing funded by George Soros can ever be viewed as good for truth in elections.
If there is not a massive effort … and I mean MASSIVE … to totally understand and honestly utilize the ramifications of this ERIC program and the effect it can have on the elections in the near term.
We may be the loser in these elections by such an unbelievably complex system to promote fraud that it is hard to comprehend.
HEAVENLY FATHER PLEASE CONTINUE TO EXPOSE ALL THE DARKNESS IN OUR ELECTON PROCESSES. THANK YOU FOR THOSE REPORTING THE EXPOSURE AS YOU AS YOU GIVE IT. PLEASE GIVE US YOUR POWER TO REPLACE UNGODLY LEADERS THIS COMING ELECTION WITH LEADERS THAT WILL FOLLOW YOUR LEAD. THANK YOU FOR HEARING OUR PRAYERS AND FOR ANSWERING THEM IN ADVANCE. IN JESUS NAME AMEN.
I find this very troubling!
You should. Help your state to get out of ERIC asap!!
If elections are not free – that country is not free. Heavenly Father, please raise up truthtellers in every state to expose the hidden corruption in the voting process, rolls, machines, whatever it is. Thwart the plans of those who would cheat, let the truth be known indisputably. I think of all the people, like myself, who waited hours outside in line to vote, believing our votes counted – one voice, one vote – only to discover dead people voted, people who are not citizens voted, mysterious boxes of ballots appeared . . . I pray that our elections would not be in dispute, but would be undeniably free and fair, so that our country can be free. with You, Lord, all things are possible. Amen. http://www.mtothe5th.wordpress.com
Lord, to return America to it’s Godly roots, will require intervention from YOU in our demonic voting schemes. To put Godly individuals in place, we need an honest system AMEN
Dear Heavenly Father, please reveal what is false in our election process. Help us to re-evaluate how to keep our elections secure from fraud or deceitful manipulations. Equip and alert our Legislators to remove questionable machines and choose paper ballots. Send wisdom and discernment to our Legilstors so they can insure a secure and fair election. Thank You O Lord..Amen
Lord- May truth destroy deception. If this data base and the people behind it are of malicious intent, destroy it – forever. Make our elections honest and clean. Reveal and destroy the networks and sources of evil intent. Lift up those involved in our elections who are righteous and pure of heart. Give them the wisdom to craft a new and secure voting system in our nation.
Amen
The Lord expects us to help.
