Massive election scandal in Wisconsin.
A federal lawsuit has been filed against the Wisconsin Department of Transportation for allegedly turning over confidential DMV data containing the "personal info of millions of Americans and non-citizens for targeted voter registration and outreach efforts."
filed the federal lawsuit after discovering Wisconsin's DOT gave the two nonprofits the confidential DMV data.
This is a major breach of voter trust.
As the litigants describe it, the lawsuit centers around David J. Becker and his two nonprofits, the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) & the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR).
The Complaint maintains that ERIC and the CEIR abused the data for an array of illegal political activities, all of which are prohibited under the DPPA (Driver's Privacy Protection Act).
The plaintiffs make the case that ERIC exists to bloat voter rolls, as demonstrated by statistics that show states that don't use ERIC have cleaner voter rolls.
The CEIR was implicated in the Zucker Bucks scandal and received $70,000,000 in the lead-up to the 2020 election.
The CEIR issued grants to states ahead of the 2020 election based in part on this DMV data, the litigants claim.
The lawsuit points out that the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) confirmed the state isn't an ERIC member just weeks ago.
On September 17, WEC's written discovery responses reveal "WEC has not entered into contracts with ANY third-party to maintain the database."
ERIC is also implicated in the recent Colorado election scandal, as well as issues reported by Secretaries of State across the country regarding difficulties cleaning up dirty voter rolls.
Colorado's Deputy Secretary of State, Christopher Beall, testified in a July 2024 court case that 30,000 non-citizens in Colorado were sent postcards because of ERIC.
"Our efforts to remove individuals who DMV had identified as noncitizens was ineffective because of data coding mismatches between ERIC's data and DMV data, resulting in 30,000 of 51,000 postcards."
It turns out, these voting non-profits that claim to be safeguarding elections may be the actual "threat to democracy."
