ERIC’s EBU Refresh List, CEIR, and Soros
What’s the connection between the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), and George Soros? It all starts with ERIC’s coveted ‘Eligible but Unregistered’ (EBU) refresh list. ERIC, using information from the state’s voter registration rolls, Department of Motor Vehicles, and the USPS, generates a list with information on eligible but unregistered constituents for all member states.
What is so important about the ERIC’s EBU list? Enter Catalist, the for-profit company to which billionaire George Soros provided the first $1 million for startup costs.

NYT: Soros invest $2.5m in political data venture to be housed at Catalist:
Groups Mobilize to Aid Democrats in ’14 Data Arms Race (Published 2013)Without the Obama campaign’s vaunted technological muscle, Democrats are trying to get up to speed for the midterm elections and beyond.nyti.ms

In an article by J. Christian Adams, he states, “Catalist provides much more sophisticated and much more granular data about subsets of Americans. The degree of granularity was never possible before Catalist, and Republicans have nothing to match it, for now. The most important thing Catalist allows the left to do is drive deeper into the pool of extreme left-wing Americans who are otherwise unmotivated to actually vote. Catalist allows customers to identify potential voters on the far ideological fringe, but who are usually unmotivated to vote. Catalist allows the left to then identify issues, concerns, or other lifestyle facts which allows ERIC users to help motivate the usually unmotivated on that fringe to vote.
You have your own individual voter file in Catalist. Everyone does. Under that file might be a massive amount of information about you — more than probably exists in any other database in the world. Whom you work for, what car you might drive, donations you have made, assumptions based on your neighborhood, anything in a public government database about you, consumer preferences, partisan preferences, what licenses you have, what you might have said to pollsters on the phone, memberships, how you treated the young left-wing activist knocking on your door a few years ago, and on and on and on.
Beyond winning elections, Catalist also allows the Democrats to turn the policy narrative upside down and suffer no political consequence for implementing radical policies which appeal to their base. The Obama administration’s lurch to the far left without consequence can be understood by understanding Catalist. Obama thrives politically by satisfying his base. Simply, Catalist is a game changer not just for politics, but for policy. It is the left’s machinery for fundamentally transforming America — and all of it is perfectly legal.”
According to the Capital Research Center, “In the “real world” of politics, Catalist is a key, perhaps even central element, in a well-thought-out, well-integrated strategy to mobilize specific interest groups on behalf of partisan interests seeking power. Catalist is serious about its goals, clear-eyed about who it has to mobilize, and what instruments it can use to mobilize them.”
As Sasha Issenberg writes in 2012 in The Victory Lab: The Secret Science of Winning Campaigns, “Subscription-based access to this database, which consists of some 180 million registered voters and 85 million unregistered adults—essentially every adult in the United States—allows clients to combine demographic and political information with commercial data to help target political messages to large groups or individuals with unprecedented precision and effectiveness. But underneath the expanded use of screens were scores, a new political currency that represented an individualized way of predicting human behavior, where a campaign didn’t just profile who you were but knew exactly how it could turn you into the type of person it wanted you to be.”
