EIN-CPI-ROA INDIRECT CONNECTION: Election Integrity Network Inc (EIN 88-2166493) is legally registered as Election Integrity Action Inc. Officers include Cleta Mitchell (Director), Wade Miller (Chair), Gene Hamilton (Secretary). Received .2K total: K from CPI (2022), .2K from Citizens for Renewing America (2022), K from CPI (2023). CPI itself received .45M from Servant Foundation (2023) and M from Rydin Foundation (2023). No direct ROA grant to EIN, but the entities share the same ecosystem: ROA funds SBA List and APP (ETI fiscal sponsors), while CPI/CRA fund EIN. Both tracks converge under Cleta Mitchell who directs both EIN and FAIR Elections Fund (EIN 93-1870447, K from CPI in 2023). FAIR Elections Fund shares CPI's address at 300 Independence Ave SE.

Cleta Mitchell (PILF chair) runs the Election Integrity Network (EIN) through Conservative Partnership Institute - the central coordination hub connecting all 5 election enforcement orgs. EIN summits co-hosted with RNC and sponsored by Heritage Foundation. 20+ EIN coalition members involved in Project 2025. EIN central to dismantling ERIC (the interstate voter roll comparison system), creating the data vacuum that PILF then sues to fill. Mitchell simultaneously chairs PILF while running EIN, making her the key nexus between litigation strategy and grassroots activation.

EIN-PILF-TTV-CPI cross-organizational personnel map: (1) PILF: Cleta Mitchell serves as both EIN Founder/Chairman AND PILF Board Chair simultaneously, making her the direct nexus between litigation strategy (PILF) and grassroots coordination (EIN). J. Christian Adams (PILF President) was TTV counsel in 2013 CO voter roll cases. PILF is co-party with TTV in True the Vote v. IRS (DC Circuit 25-5219, active). (2) True the Vote: Catherine Engelbrecht (TTV founder) and Gregg Phillips (TTV co-founder, now FEMA) both connected through the 15-org DOGE SSA voter data agreement probe. Phillips stated DHS 'wants to partner with us' on voter rolls (March 2025). (3) CPI: CPI is EIN's institutional parent — funded EIN 525K (2022) + 20K (2023). CPI also funds PILF 50K (2021). CPI-satellite CRA funded EIN 228K (2022). Heather Honey served as VP on CPI-satellite FAIR Elections Fund board before becoming DHS Deputy Asst Sec for Election Integrity. (4) Heritage: Hans von Spakovsky sits on PILF board AND Heritage; Heritage sponsored EIN summits. (5) Julie Adams: EIN Regional Coordinator for GA, simultaneously Tea Party Patriots Action field director (TPPA received 1.1M from Leo-connected groups, 2.5M from Uihlein). Adams used her Fulton County Board seat to refuse March 2024 primary certification.

NCEIT case study — EIN's most developed state operation: NCEIT led by Jim Womack (President, Lee County GOP Chair) and Jay DeLancy (COO, Air Force retiree, election integrity advocate since 2011). ~750 members from 90/100 NC counties. 25 active county taskforces. 1200+ trained poll observers. 150+ with incident-reporting access. Hans von Spakovsky (Heritage/PILF board) serves as legal consultant to Womack on voter roll cleanup. J. Christian Adams (PILF President) consulted on voter roll maintenance. Kevin Cline (RNC attorney) listed as legal advisor on NCEIT list-maintenance team. Josh Findlay (RNC national election integrity director) attended NCEIT June kickoff summit. Dave Warren (RNC NC election integrity director) attended calls. RNC reps message Womack 'almost daily.' Mitchell publicly praised: 'Be like North Carolina. Be like Jim Womack.' NC election board director Karen Brinson Bell equated mass records requests to 'denial-of-service attacks.'

EIN ERIC defection campaign: In June 2022, Mitchell convened a secret ERIC summit at CPI with red-state lawmakers, presenting a 29-page report calling ERIC a 'threat to election integrity.' Secretaries of state from the first five states to withdraw attended. Result: Florida, West Virginia, Missouri, Ohio, and Iowa pulled out of ERIC in 2023. The campaign created a voter data vacuum that EIN then fills with EagleAI, a voter roll challenge tool promoted by Mitchell. EagleAI (founded by Dr. John Rick Richards) operates in 9 states: AZ, CO, FL, GA, NV, OH, PA, TN, TX with 5 more pending: IL, KY, MI, MD, WI. American Oversight obtained EIN meeting records showing EagleAI algorithms only pick up 90% of address changes and was still in 'development phase' with unresolved issues as of May 2024. Mitchell's Compass Legal Group managed the tax-exempt application for Valid Vote, the nonprofit behind EagleAI. This creates a vertically integrated cycle: EIN campaigns to defund ERIC -> states lose voter data tool -> EIN promotes EagleAI replacement -> Mitchell's Compass Legal Group gets the legal work -> EagleAI data feeds PILF litigation and state chapter voter challenges.

EIN STATE CHAPTER PARTNERS AND ROA ECOSYSTEM CONVERGENCE: EIN operates state coalitions in GA, NC, FL, AZ, PA, MI, WI, VA — the same swing states targeted by VRF voter roll data and LIF ballot initiative funding. National partners include: Tea Party Patriots (received .75M from ROA), Heritage Action (connected to Heritage/CPI ecosystem), Foundation for Government Accountability, Honest Elections Project, ALEC Action, and Election Transparency Initiative (SBA List/APP joint project, both ROA grantees). Dick Uihlein Foundation gave M to CPI in 2021 specifically for EIN launch. Bradley Foundation gave K for Virginia Institute for Public Policy 'Virginia Fair Elections project' — the model CPI replicated nationally. State coalition groups include Audit the Vote PA, Stand Up Michigan, Arizona Freedom Caucus. This creates a parallel structure: ROA funds operational entities (FVF, LDF, LIF, VRF) while CPI/EIN provides coordination and strategy.
