DHS Refers ERIC Voter-Data Sharing Allegations to DOJ for Privacy Investigation

  • Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin requested the Justice Department to investigate the Electronic Registration Information Center for allegedly sharing sensitive personal data from state motor vehicle databases with private organizations, possibly violating the Driver's Privacy Protection Act.
  • At least nine states, encompassing over 48 million registered voters, authorized transferring sensitive data including Social Security and driver's license numbers to ERIC, which then shared it with nonprofits like the Center for Election Innovation and Research .
  • ERIC's contracts forbid sharing records indicating non-citizens, yet in 2022 Colorado's ERIC list included 30,000 non-citizens invited to register to vote, raising concerns about unauthorized voter registration and data misuse.
  • Incidents such as voter registration materials being sent to unvetted addresses and ballots found in a dumpster alongside voter postcards raise concerns about voter roll accuracy and potential alien voting.
