The claim departs from the passage: the speaker framed 6,600 illegal voters as a hypothetical ('when they are found to') and never said ERIC was found to have them.
What was said
… It operates outside of the authorities and, uhm, in my opinion, based on the information available, it is intended to pad voter rolls and create plausible deniability so that when they are found to, you know, have 6,600, uh, illegals voting in their elections or on their roles with the ability to vote in their elections, or they're found to have sent 30,000 invitations to register to vote to a bunch of criminal invaders, they can be like, "Oh, man, it was just a data coding mismatch. Oh, it's a problem with the software. It's a glitch. It's a human error. …
Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. Multiple sources attribute the 6,600 figure to New Jersey's motor vehicle registration system glitch, not to ERIC, and say it involved noncitizens registered to vote rather than a finding about ERIC's rolls.[1][2][6]
Contradicts. Sources report that up to about 400 of the 6,600 noncitizens cast ballots, undercutting the claim's framing of 6,600 illegal voters.[1][2][5]
Context. ERIC's own materials and independent coverage describe it as a list-maintenance system for moved and deceased voters, and do not report any finding that ERIC rolls contain 6,600 illegal voters.[3][4][7][8]
