Charleston, W.Va – Today, WV Secretary of State Mac Warner announced West Virginia’s resignation from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). Other states joining West Virginia in resignation today are Florida and Missouri, while Louisiana and Alabama previously resigned.
On Sunday, February 19, 2023, the ERIC Board of Directors met in Washington, DC, to consider changes to the bylaws and membership agreement recommended by a bi-partisan working group of several member states. After a last-second change to the agenda and disjointed discussions interrupted numerous times by non-voting, non-dues-paying individuals, the ERIC Board rejected critical working group recommended changes that would have prevented third-party influences from serving as non-state ex officio members to the ERIC Board of Directors.
The Board also tabled the vote of several other important membership changes recommended by the bi-partisan working group, despite having months of discussions and communications with member states about the proposals.
With the ERIC Board’s recent action, the inexplicable opportunity remains for partisan, non-state actors to hold influential positions within the organization.
“There is no defensible justification to allow any opportunity for partisanship in voter registration and list maintenance, much less in the administration of our nation’s elections,” said Secretary of State Mac Warner. “It truly is a shame that an organization founded on the principle of nonpartisanship would allow the opportunity for partisanship to stray the organization from the equally important principle of upholding the public’s confidence.”
West Virginia will take the necessary steps to supplement state list-maintenance data sources that ERIC had facilitated. The State will continue list maintenance efforts to identify voters who move out of the state with the US Postal Service. Deceased voters can be identified via the Social Security Administration Master Death File, abandoned voter registrations from DMV, and other means.
“West Virginia's County Clerks have completed tremendous amounts of work and we now have the cleanest voter rolls in the history of our state,” said Warner. “That work will continue as we protect against both perceived and real threats from undue influence and partisanship in election administration.”
“You don’t leave China without the CCP owning you.”
In Episode 54 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, four-star U.S. Army General Michael Flynn explains how the Chinese Communist Party controls who leaves the country, who receives student visas, and who gains access to American universities.
Flynn lays out how coercion, family pressure, and state control turn academic placement into an intelligence pipeline — not because students are bad people, but because the CCP owns the leverage. Placement plus access is all that’s required to exploit U.S. research, innovation, and intellectual property.
This is not espionage as Americans traditionally understand it.
It is systemic, coerced, and embedded inside open institutions.
China uses people as pressure points.
America assumes goodwill.

FROM WASHINGTON, DC | EPISODE 54
General Charles Flynn explains to Lara Logan how a moment overseas revealed a growing confidence problem among U.S. allies in the Indo Pacific.
While visiting a key ASEAN country in 2022, Flynn recalls being confronted by a senior military leader after the U.S. announced a $33 billion aid package to Ukraine. The question was direct. If America pivoted to the Pacific, where was the support?
Flynn says the gap between U.S. rhetoric and action left allies questioning American commitment and credibility.

CUBAN INTELLIGENCE RUNS THE BACK CHANNELS OF VENEZUELA
Lara Logan and legendary CIA officer Gary Berntsen discuss how Venezuela does not operate alone and how Cuban intelligence plays a decisive behind the scenes role.
Long recognized as one of the most sophisticated and dangerous intelligence services in the world, Cuban intelligence was once treated by the U.S. as a serious national security threat. Cuban nationals apprehended at the border routinely triggered halted operations and restricted access because the risk was fully understood.
That changed.
They explain how the shift accelerated under Biden and traces back to 2008 under Obama, when diplomatic relations and a CIA liaison relationship blurred critical lines, bringing U.S. officers dangerously close to Cuban counterparts and opening the door to recruitment and compromise.
