Imperfect ERIC Data Leading to Potential Purge of WI Voters


ERIC is a Service shared by 29 States and the District of Columbia to keep Voter Registration Files Up-to-Date by comparing Voter Data with other Public Records like Vehicle Registrations to find Voters Registered in Multiple States and Confirm where they live for Purging Voter Rolls.

In October 2019, the Wisconsin Elections Commission used the ERIC List to Contact Voters who Appeared to have Moved. If a Voter had indeed Moved, they were asked to Re-Register. If they had not, the Form gave Instructions on how they could Confirm their Address and keep their Current Registration Active.

But it’s a Process State Election Officials, ERIC, and Conservatives agree is Not Flawless.

Lucas Vebber, at the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, says it doesn’t need to be. “It doesn’t require perfect information. The statute says upon receipt of ‘reliable’ information. Certainly I think 95% is reliable,”.

Milwaukee Elections Chief, Neil Albrecht Disagrees. “I think something that has a 5 or 10 percent proven error rate should really meet the definition of unreliable data,”.

He Supports the Position of the State Election Commission and wants to Wait Two years before anyone gets Deleted, ensuring No One Loses the Chance to Vote in 2020.

But that Violates the Voting Rights Act. It says you have to Wait until the Mailed Vote goes through Two Federal Election Cycles, and still doesn't Vote, before they can be Purged. This is there is No Official Verification they Moved.

Four Wards in the Heart of Milwaukee’s North Side, from Capitol to Hampton, and roughly 35th Street to 48th, Home to 513 Voters Conservatives want Immediately Deleted from the Rolls, over the course of Two days, from 114 People on the ERIC Report, 43 still lived there.
