The creators of a controversial program designed to hunt for voter fraud that was promoted by conservative activists are pitching two new programs to state election officials ahead of the midterms.

The first election software from Dr. John W. “Rick” Richards Jr. and his son, John W. Richards III, called EagleAI, promised to help officials and activists root out inaccurate voter registrations in the run-up to the 2024 election. The program was embraced by members of the Election Integrity Network, the group founded by Cleta Mitchell, a former election lawyer for President Donald Trump. But it was also criticized as inaccurate by election officials and experts, as well as some of the activists who tried it.

Now, the father-son duo is back with two new programs: ELLY and Psephos. They have pitched election officials in Missouri, North Carolina and Rhode Island, according to email correspondence and pitch materials obtained through Freedom of Information requests made by the nonpartisan government watchdog American Oversight and shared with NBC News.

Richards Jr., a medical doctor, also presented ELLY at an “Election Integrity Summit” last month in Washington, D.C., according to attendees who spoke publicly about the closed-media event. And on Wednesday, Richards III said both programs will be presented to the Georgia State Election Board, Richards III said, where Trump allies have a majority. Richards III and his father declined to speak further with NBC News before the meeting.

1. Voter rolls may not remove dead quickly enough if family or nursing homes are uncooperative

Most of the fraud that has been detected was people sending in a dead spouse or parent's ballot. And it doesn't happen in enough numbers to change the outcome of an election. There were already government sponsored systems for tracking voters that move or die so that their registrations can be updated but Republican states opted out after Trump forced them to try and validate his rigged election claims.

3. Exactly

NBC News is sticking to the old tradition of taking establishment white bullies at their word. It's been made clear for years that their goal is not fraud, but suppression. But MSM is to weak to call it out.
