In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the potential implementation of a new program called Eagle AI, aimed at cleaning up voter rolls. The program, which utilizes eight parameters to identify discrepancies in voter registration, is currently being used in Florida and is designed to streamline the process of maintaining accurate voter lists.

The program's creators, based in Georgia, have expressed a preference for volunteers to operate it rather than election office staff. This has raised concerns among officials regarding the reliability and motivations of these volunteers, as well as the potential for biases in the data aggregation process. The program is said to gather information from established sources, including the DMV and Social Security, but officials questioned its efficacy compared to existing systems.

During the discussion, it was noted that the program costs $75 per month and functions similarly to a spreadsheet, aggregating data for further evaluation. Some officials expressed skepticism about the program's ability to provide better data than current methods, particularly given past issues with data accuracy in voter roll maintenance.

The meeting also touched on the scheduling of future sessions, with tentative dates set for March, June, September, and December of the upcoming year. As the meeting concluded, officials were encouraged to consider the implications of introducing Eagle AI into their voter registration processes, particularly regarding the involvement of untrained volunteers and the potential for disenfranchisement.
