The Big Lie They Hoped You Wouldn't Notice
Accurate voter rolls are the key to clean elections. Voter data is the fuel that drives modern electoral campaigns. Keep these two facts in the back of your head, because they explain the election integrity fight better than anything else.
The Constitution gives states primary control over their elections. Federal law also requires states to maintain accurate lists of registered voters. Yet state governments have always struggled to fulfill this mandate because voters regularly leave the state, change their names or addresses, or—inevitably—die. Some people commit felonies and forfeit their voting rights. Others simply fail to vote for years yet remain on the voter rolls. And almost no one moving out of state remembers to unregister in their old state before re-registering in their new state.
That last one sounds counterintuitive because we're used to so many things happening automatically—shouldn't registering to vote in, say, Idaho immediately unregister me in California? The surprising answer is "no." That interstate communication problem is what ERIC was ostensibly created to solve.
In 2012, ERIC spun off from Pew Center on the States—an arm of the left-wing mega-funder Pew Charitable Trusts—as a project to "modernize" the voter registration process. Restoration News traced the project’s early funding to George Soros' Foundation to Promote Open Society, which earmarked $725,000 in 2011 to "expand [its] scope and scale." But a 2010 Pew report created during ERIC's infancy reveals much more.
Pew's forthcoming "common data exchange" would require states to "submit their current [voter registration] lists and motor vehicle data" to a "data center"—what became ERIC—which would "standardize, collate, and match it" with "data such as U.S. Postal Service National Change of Address information, Social Security death index data," "felon data," citizenship status for naturalized Americans, "public assistance agency data," "individual address history," "military data . . . for military members and their families," "state tax data," and "university data [on] student names, ages and addresses."
In other words, ERIC would seek and obtain the private, ultrasensitive data not available to political campaigns—data political operations would kill for—under the guise of helping states remove ineligible voters from the rolls.
By definition, cleaning voter lists means removing ineligible individuals. Yet ERIC require states to attempt to register new voters—a fact to which ERIC's founder, David Becker, has admitted. In 2018, he boasted that ERIC "is the single most effective voter registration drive in the history of the United States." In other words, ERIC is a tool for bloating voter rolls even as it pretends to be a service for de-bloating them—from the organization's bylaws:
When a Member [i.e. state] receives an Eligible but Unregistered Report the Member must act on the report by, at a minimum, initiating contact with all ‘individuals identified in the report deemed potentially eligible by the Member’ for the purpose of providing voter registration information, including the deadlines and requirements for registering as specified in applicable federal or state law.
To put it bluntly, the cleaning is a "may"; the registering is a "shall." That's a raw deal to anyone who's not a Democrat political operative trying to win elections.
And here's the kicker: these member states pay ERIC to hand over their own residents' protected information. If you live in one of ERIC's 28 member states, you're paying to give away your most sensitive personal information to unaccountable partisan groups while also inflating the voter rolls.

I would add to that story a very important piece of information that they've left out...
There is HUGE money in NOT purging voter rolls, and anybody who has the means makes out like bandits because of it. Not just Democrats. Not just politicians in general.
Anyone.
I used to work for a company who did mass mailers. We'd do it for anybody who had money and wanted to get something out to the people in the mail. Not just politicians. But the political work was the real bread and butter of the operation, and everybody working there got somewhere between 60 and 80 hours of overtime per week in the weeks leading up to an election.
We had a creepy little dude who I'm sure was somewhere pretty high up on the autistic scale working there who kept to himself all day long on his computers doing god knows what. We're talking in the age of Windows 98/XP, and only 1 of his 4 monitors had anything resembling a modern OS on them, while the other 3 were always just walls of text.
One of the things he was in charge of doing was purging out all of the non-voters in any state that were still on the lists. Be it for any of the reasons that the voters no longer belonged on those lists for a particular state mentioned in the article above. Death, Moving out of the state, people who were still alive and in the same place but haven't voted in ages, etc. We also had lists of what were called Hard Republicans, Soft Republicans, Hard Democrats and Soft Democrats too. I was kind of shocked to see printouts of this information and realize they had a very detailed profile on all voters (names, addresses, and all the personal information mentioned in the article above), as well as how often they voted (R) or (D) in the last "X" amount of elections.
One of my jobs was handling the billing and collections of the bills, and balancing of the books all year long until they were shipped off to the boss' accountant at the end of the year. I was even a 5-day seminar on QuickBooks once my boss paid off the temp agency and made me a full-time employee.
So sitting in that chair, I knew what we were billing our clients for the use of these voter rolls and "Death Lists".
Bottom line, because the states NEVER bother to keep any of these lists up-to-date even though there is ZERO excuse for not doing so with the technology available to us for the last 3 decades plus, any political candidate that didn't want to waste tens of thousands of dollars (in 1999-2001 money) would also purchase a one-time use of these death lists, and move lists, and voter proclivity lists for EVERY SINGLE MAILER they put out. $1,000 here, $2,000 there for every mailer... It all added up very quickly.
Why would somebody pay that, you might ask?
Because the alternative was spending a whole ton of money on producing extra mailers at the print shop, having them addressed on the assembly line which required no-less than 8 employees from start to finish, and then paying postage to the post office for mailing them. (I'm sure that printing addresses has to be much more automated today).
One single piece might not look to be that expensive if it was just a simple post card with a bulk-mail postage discount, but if you're sending out a mailer to 150,000 households or more, sending out these mailers to tens of thousands of dead people or people who moved out of the state(s) or people you already know aren't going to vote (or just aren't ever going to vote for you) is a phenomenal waste of money.
Bottom line is that these lists already exist. All of them. They've existed at least for the last 28 years, and I would assume they've been around longer than that and weren't a brand new thing when I started working there.
But our states won't use them. Why? Who knows...
Who complies these lists and where did they come from? Who knows...
So all of these politicians would spend money from their own campaign funds purging these voter lists before every mailer
