Hat Tip ATVPA
On July twenty sixth, 2022, the Pennsylvania Division of State despatched out an odd memo to county election officers stating that the controversial ERIC system is simply now starting to conduct an evaluation of “improper votes” that will have been solid within the 2020 election. Due to this “investigation”, the Division of State is suggesting that the person counties preserve all election information from 2020. However the creator of the memo is weird to say the least.
The Gateway Pundit has beforehand coated the controversial non-public ERIC system:
** ERIC Half 1: Who’s “Cleaning” Our Voter Rolls? ERIC Now in 31 States
** ERIC Half 2: Largest U.S. Counties Removed ZERO to TWO Ineligible Voters
** ERIC Half 3: The Founding of the Nation’s Largest Voter Roll Clean-up Operation
** ERIC Half 4: A Response to the Panicked Media Attacks
From the memo:
Expensive County Election Officers:
As you’re undoubtedly conscious, there was a considerable amount of litigation surrounding the November 3, 2020 normal election. Whereas a few of these instances have been disposed of, others proceed to work their manner via numerous courts. Additional, you may additionally remember that Pennsylvania is a member of the Digital Registration Info Middle (“ERIC”). ERIC membership assists in enhancing the accuracy of Pennsylvania’s voter rolls and in performing voter checklist upkeep actions. As a part of its membership in ERIC, Pennsylvania is taking part within the Voter Participation Undertaking to help in figuring out any voters who could have solid “improper votes” within the 2020 normal election. A overview of information for the 2020 normal election together with the Voter Participation Undertaking is at present ongoing. To finish this mission, info is required from some counties that has not but been offered regardless of requests by the Division of State (“Division”).
We’re approaching the tip of the 22-month doc retention requirement for information pertaining to federal elections. See 52 U.S.C. § 20701. Nevertheless, the statute of limitations for federal crimes associated to improper voting is 5 years. As well as, Pennsylvania has a two-year statute of limitations for casting improper votes in an election. Given the Division’s present overview in reference to the Voter Participation Undertaking, the Division strongly recommends that each one counties proceed to take care of all voting information pertaining to the 2020 normal election.
Additional, in case your county is concerned in any at present pending instances referring to the 2020 election, all these information must be maintained, however any opposite doc retention insurance policies your county may need. Even when your county will not be at present concerned in any such litigation, given the elements talked about above and in an abundance of warning, we imagine it might be prudent to proceed to retain 2020 normal election information in the interim and request that you simply achieve this.
The explanation this memo is unusual will not be due to the request for information retention. That must be universally mandated given the acute controversy nonetheless surrounding the 2020 and now 2022 elections, regardless of the mockingbird media’s strict adherence to “The Massive Lie” narrative.
This memo is unusual as a result of it doesn’t seem to have originated from the Deputy Secretary for Elections and Commissions, Jonathan Marks. It doesn’t seem to have originated from anybody in his workplace, both. Or anybody employed by the Division of State in any respect.
As an alternative, the metadata from this memo suggests it was created by “Clint Eisenhower”. An internet search revealed a Linked-in page for a Clint Eisenhower within the Larger Harrisburg space (capitol of PA) reveals that he works for Thomson Reuters in Threat, Fraud, and Compliance.
Whereas it’s a main step in the proper path to take care of these information, the doc itself and the involvement of a Thomson Reuters’ Threat/Fraud/Compliance worker wants rationalization.
I’ve despatched emails to all of Clint Eisenhower’s listed e mail addresses and left three voicemails with completely different officers on the acceptable places of work in Pennsylvania Division of State requesting remark or clarification about why a Reuters worker is sending out Division of State memos to election officers. If anybody responds, I’ll replace accordingly.
