The election denier getting paid to access voter data in Georgia

Dr. Rick Richards will soon get a $2,000 to apply his election denier conspiracies on the voters of Columbia County, Georgia.

Dr. Rick Richards is exactly who you’d expect him to be. The man behind a company called EagleAI — which bills itself as an alternative to the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a tested and proven multi-state system that removes ineligible voters from voter rolls — is an election-denying, COVID truther who also believes that January 6 was a false flag operation carried out by Antifa. 

Now, he is getting paid $2,000 a year to run his software in Columbia County, which is partnering with Richards to help clean up its voter rolls, I’ve discovered. In Richards’ mind, this is a win for so-called “election integrity” activists like himself.
