ERIC System -Connected to State Voter Registration Database APIs

Established Fact as to WisVote API access to ERIC and CTCL.  The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) is a nonprofit consortium of which Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona were all members in 2020. ERIC receives voter roll data from member states and compares it to detect duplicate registrations, deceased voters, and address changes. The source record documents that despite ERIC’s access to cross-state data, voters registered at commercial addresses (warehouses, vacant lots, UPS stores) in Georgia, voters registered in multiple states in Pennsylvania, and deceased voters in Michigan all remained on active rolls through November 3, 2020. Additionally, the OSC Gableman Report documented that WEC shared real-time API access to WisVote data with CTCL and ERIC – partisan-aligned nonprofit organizations – while denying equivalent access to the public and to the legislative investigators conducting the election oversight inquiry.
