3. At the forefront of today's anti-democracy movement as it seeks to cast doubt on election security is Cleta Mitchell's

Election Integrity Network, an influential election denial activist group focused on conspiracy theories about voter fraud — including baseless claims that voter registration lists are rife with errors and fraud.

As activists look to find ways to “clean” the voter rolls, they have frequently pushed the use of fringe technology like EagleAI NETwork. Over the last year, EagleAI has emerged as a profoundly flawed alternative to the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), which states use to securely maintain up-to-date voter rolls. Voter fraud vigilantes determined to uncover supposed fraudulent registrations have used EagleAI — which has long been promoted by Cleta Mitchell — to launch mass voter challenges.

American Oversight recently obtained recordings of Election Integrity Network (EIN) meetings, featured in reporting by the Baltimore Banner, that not only demonstrate the close ties between EagleAI founder Dr. John “Rick” Richards and the Election Integrity Network, but also the severe deficiencies of EagleAI.

Most notably, in a meeting of EIN’s voter rolls working group on March 20, 2024, a recording of which had been shared with the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office, Richards said that the EagleAI algorithms only “pick up 90% of [voter] moves,” with people having to manually review the rest of the data.
