1/ As election season approaches, its time to dive into the complex world of election integrity to uncover the shadowy figures and hidden corruption within our democratic processes.

2/ The American election system is a mess. Lets look at each piece of this puzzle and try to make sense of it.

3/ ERIC

Over 1/2 of the US are currently registered member states of (ERIC) Election Information Registration Center @ericstates_info

4/ 8 states have revoked their membership of ERIC this year claiming fears of a less safe and burdensome process.

5/ ERIC sprung up in 2012 with David Becker at the front of the helm. Becker was at Pew Charitable Trusts prior, the public charity named for founding ERIC.

6/ In 2016 David Becker started Center for Election Innovation & Research (CEIR).
CEIR was started after the 2016 election in response to foreign interference claims and alleged low voter turnout.

7/ A settlement in Pennsylvania included the state taking extra precautions regarding ERIC protocols

Many concerns have been raised pointing to the connections between ERIC and CEIR

Most notably @TomFitton's white paper

8/ Another claim against ERIC and CEIR report my Verity Vote, which includes FOIA documents showing the sharing of EBU data

9/ Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) was formed in 2012 and aligned with CEIR and ERIC.

The six election officials on CTCL's Advisory Board all represent ERIC member states

14 members of Congress wrote a letter to CTCL demanding transparency in their process

10/ In 2020 CEIR received $69.5 million and CTCL received $350 million from Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan, commonly called "zuck bucks" today.

11/ On May 8th and 9th CEIR held a private summit in Washington DC.

9 Secretaries of State and 5 Election Officials attended, all from ERIC member states.

@LauraLoomer caught up with David Becker in DC

12/ According to Politico the 2020 election was decided by 8 swing states.

13/ Those 8 states were all ERIC member states. (FL just resigned)

Of the $450+ million zuck bucks that CEIR and CTCL received, 40% went to those 8 swing states

14/ In 2021 Becker spun up a new entity, Election Official Legal Defense Network (EOLDN) with co-chairs Bob Bauer and Ben Ginsberg, as a result of the questions that arose in the 2020 election.

All 3 were in attendance at the CEIR summit

15/ Bob Bauer has continually attacked President Trumps legal attempts and lobbed lawfare nonstop

16/ Ben Ginsberg testified at the January 6 committee dismissing the validity of 62 lawsuits the Trump campaign filed, saying “I’ve looked at the more than 60 [cases] that include more than 180 counts and no. The simple fact is that the Trump campaign did not make its case".

17/ One of the 9 members of the J6 committee was none other than Jamie Raskin, the final member to round out the band of election musketeers.

18/ As lawsuits like @KariLake's move forward across the country, this band will grow louder ever stoking the flame of dissent.

One thing is for sure; CEIR, CTCL, ERIC, and EOLDN have far too much influence in the outcome of US elections.

19/ The citizens of this great country WILL unite and demand a better process.

“Elections belong to the people. It’s their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters.” Abraham Lincoln
