In January 2022, The Gateway Pundit first started our viral sequence of studies on the Eric System.
The studies went utterly viral and have been shared by grassroots teams after which delivered to state officers who took election integrity significantly.
** Eric Half 1: Who’s “cleaning” our voter rolls? Eric is now in 31 states
** Eric Half 2: The biggest US counties dropped zero to 2 ineligible voters.
** Eric Half 3: Institution of the nation's largest voter checklist cleansing marketing campaign
** Eric Half 4: Responding to nervous media assaults
The sequence of studies centered on ERIC's lack of transparency, lack of reforms, and bias. We additionally reported how ERIC was created to scrub up voter lists however that by no means occurred. Voter lists in ERIC states have by no means been purged. A superb instance of that is Wisconsin – a state that makes use of the ERIC system, but has 7.06 million registered voters in a state with 3.6 million eligible voters!
Clearly, the ERIC system isn’t working.
It was later revealed that ERIC founder David Baker was sharing ERIC supplies with left-wing teams in the course of the 2020 presidential election.
Bomb! Emails reveal ERIC was sharing voter data with a third-party group linked to Zuckerberg within the 2020 election
It was Gateway Pundits who launched the assault on ERIC, with good cause.
Following our studies and actions by fellow conservative teams, almost one-third of ERIC members determined to depart ERIC since our first report was launched. This was a matter of nice concern for the novel left. For some cause (we will all guess why!) they depend on a shared system like ERIC for profitable elections.
In Might 2023, the administration of Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin took Virginia out of the ERIC system. The transfer made Virginia the eighth state to depart the Digital Registration Info Heart, or ERIC. Texas later turned the ninth state to depart ERIC.
This was a serious blow to the Democrat Social gathering which depends on bloated voter rolls to win elections – why is that this?
However now the Democrats are combating again!
Virginia Democrats are “forcing” Governor Youngkin to re-enter the ERIC system this week!
Governor Youngkin had till Friday to signal the invoice and re-enter ERIC.
However this didn’t occur. As a substitute Governor Youngkin vetoed the invoice!
On Friday, Governor Youngkin vetoed the Democrat Social gathering's effort to re-enter ERIC.

March 8, 2024 To: Senate of Virginia
Senate invoice no. 606Pursuant to Article V, Part 6 of the Structure of Virginia, I veto Senate Invoice 606, which might require the Commissioner of Elections to require candidates to register for, enroll in, and preserve membership within the Digital Registration Info Heart.
The Commonwealth's resolution to exit the Digital Registration Info Heart (ERIC) in 2023 was a results of persistent administration points, inappropriate information utilization, rising prices, and an incapability to satisfy statutory necessities for border state data sharing.
ERIC's reluctance to implement reforms and deal with the issues of the bipartisan working group of member states mirrored a deviation from its core mission of bettering voter roll accuracy, which referred to as into query Virginia's continued participation.
That is significantly worrying given the controversy surrounding ERIC's sharing of private data with exterior organizations. These organizations are funded from sources that the Common Meeting has prohibited Virginia election officers from accepting on a bipartisan foundation.
The monetary burden of rejoining ERIC consists of membership charges, which have elevated by greater than 115% since 2022, and participation bills. ERIC's mandated eligible however unregistered mailings would value the Commonwealth tons of of hundreds of {dollars}, which is pointless given the Virginia Division of Motor Automobiles' computerized registration insurance policies and same-day registration to vote.
Since leaving ERIC, Virginia established data-sharing agreements with a number of states at no extra value. Moreover, the Division of Elections has elevated its information sources by collaborating with forty-one states to acquire driver license give up information, whereas ERIC solely offers information sharing with twenty-five states.
I’ve been crystal clear about affirming the validity of our elections. My focus is on defending Virginians' private data and regularly bettering an environment friendly, cost-effective voter registration system.
Accordingly, I veto the invoice.
Democrats are undoubtedly nervous about Youngkin's transfer.
It's fairly apparent why Democrats need to get again to ERIC.
And it's not due to voter integrity!
**When you’ve got time you may write Governor Youngkin and thank him for his veto!
