An Open Letter To ERIC Systems On Voter Roll Maintenance and It's Importance To Elections
An Open Letter To ERIC Systems On Voter Roll Maintenance and It's Importance To Elections
Re: Election Integrity Database – Minimum Viable Product – MVP – Open Letter
My name is Jay Valentine and I direct the Fractal Technology Software Team at Project Omega.
This letter is to advise you that using our Fractal Technology software we processed the voter
rolls for multiple states that use the ERIC system, and the results demonstrate ERIC is failing to
clean voter rolls, and the number of fake people and fake addresses in the voter rolls is large
enough to change election outcomes in every state we examined.
Our Background
We built artificial intelligence applications for decades, far before AI became trendy.
Members of our team solved massive fraud and security problems that plagued companies and
industries for years where no previous solutions were effective or available.
We have the expertise to find people hidden, accidently or deliberately in complex data.
1
In April, 2021, Wisconsin citizens invited the Fractal team to apply our disruptive technology,
Fractal Programming, to examine Wisconsin election roll and assess its overall accuracy. What
we discovered led us to look beyond one state’s records to those of many others.
In states running ERIC, we regularly found voters registered in jails, hotels, cognitive care
facilities, RV Parks, churches, UPS Boxes, libraries, skating rinks, under-construction-buildings
and scores of other properties which cannot legally house a registered voter.
By way of example, in just about every state we examined, there were many – often hundreds –
of voters older than Abraham Lincoln registered, active and voting. Even a cursory review, with
simple technology should have quickly flagged them.
We were equally concerned as to how there could be people registered and active at a college
fraternity house – who were over 50 years old, some over 105 years old. A simple examination
using a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet would have identified these screaming “anomalies.”
We found the ERIC system does not appear to clean voter rolls in a manner consistent with
what current technology can accomplish.
Tens of thousands of phantom voters remain on the rolls in every state we examined – in some
states there are hundreds of thousands. The clear message is that there are enough “phantom”
names and addresses in voter rolls of states using the ERIC system to impact election outcomes.
The numbers of “phantom” voters embedded within voter rolls ought to be a huge concern to
ERIC’s management team and should alarm every state that uses the ERIC system.
Additional Findings
Using Fractal analysis, aided by our advanced artificial intelligence (AI) address
matching, we found actual movement in data rolls that should concern citizens.

We discovered election commission changes to zip codes of a county’s citizens around
the time mail in ballots are printed and mailed, then they are changed back after the
mailing. These ballots become undeliverable and “free floating” and subject to
corruption.
This led us to develop an innovation - The UnDeliverable Ballot Database. This database
profiles each physical location in any state using personal property tax records.
Addresses are run through an AI Address Engine, then cross-checked with the equivalent
address in the voter registration files.
Thus, with complete fidelity, one can determine where an election commission intends
to send a mail-in ballot but is very unlikely to find its recipient.
In an expert witness report for a southwestern state governor’s race, we showed how the
county election commission made thousands of changes to their voter rolls AFTER the legal
date to do so. Every such change is illegal. Many of those ballots were ineligible to be cast.
The number of such changes, in only one county, were enough to impact the outcome of that
election.
ERIC should have discovered this and reported it immediately to election authorities. But as
ERIC does not appear to be able to perform real time voter roll analysis, such election
interference went unreported.
Fractal Technology
Fractal technology is far more advanced than the methods ERIC appears to use.
Our record count is far larger than that run by ERIC because we make transparent the
“movement” within election rolls. We take “snapshots” of every voter roll multiple times
across multiple dates. We compare every record, against every other record, in every time
series – and identify a change as subtle as a missed comma. We can identify every change made
by elected officials that could impact an election and make them visible to citizens.
In some states we have 30 or more copies of their voter roll from different dates. This
comparison enables us to show users how data changes over time. Those changes – over time
– in the same voter roll opened a new vista in finding anomalies requiring attention.

With Fractal technology, we can process every voter roll, in every state, on multiple dates, on a
few small computers, with every query delivered at silicon speed – to a citizen’s or elected
official’s phone.
We believe this should now be the absolute minimum standard for every state.
As noted, personal property tax records are available on-line from most counties for citizens to
examine, challenge, rectify. Citizens have confidence they are being taxed in a manner
consistent with their neighbors – because that data is transparent.
There is no reason election rolls should not have the same level of transparency – leading to
accuracy and confidence. They should no longer remain opaque, with no ability to see who is
added or removed. Citizens and/or their elected officials as each state designates – need full
transparency.
We currently run the voter rolls for about 12 states, with about 1.7 billion records. Another 20
state voter integrity organizations made rolls available – we expect to add them 2023.
The UnDeliverable Ballot Database is now built for several states and being rolled out to
additional states.
In 2021 and 2022, we learned citizens in every state desperately want clean voter rolls. Polls
continue to show citizens do not believe voter rolls are clean – they actually believe the
opposite is true. Our analysis proves, with no room for doubt, every state’s voter roll we
processed does not meet the minimum standard for what is required of a public corporation.
Comparing state voter rolls to county rolls shows they often do not reconcile – by wide margins.
And comparing voter rolls with personal property rolls – considered by many as the most
pristine government database – shows they do not reconcile as well.
There cannot be two sets of government records – property tax rolls and voter registration rolls
that do NOT AGREE! It should be… inconceivable… yet that appears to be the case.
A Minimum Viable Product (MVP) is needed – one every state can adopt to maintain accurate
voter records, reconcile state and county rolls, and help registrars keep voter rolls clean.

I take this opportunity to share with you what the MVP should be. In the attached document, I
present the absolute minimum we believe ERIC should deliver to meet its charter – cleaning
voter rolls.
Next Steps
I invite you and your team to add to this list and together we can offer our great country better,
multiple alternatives to clean voter rolls, make all changes transparent, real time, to citizens, on
their phone, at silicon speed and with surprising economy.
We are contacting the Governor, Attorney General and Secretary of State for all ERIC states to
share these recommended Minimum Viable Product requirements.
We will also make our findings available to these executives of what we are seeing with current
ERIC-managed voter rolls – in live demonstrations.
By this letter, we have introduced ourselves. We look forward to meeting you in person soon.
