Cleta Mitchell's Compass and Election Integrity Orbit
One operative at the controlling end of CPI's three Compass vendor entities, the Election Integrity Network, the Valid Vote / EagleAI counsel relationship, and the Public Interest Legal Foundation. The network is documented in the entity filings of every node.
Cleta Mitchell is the Senior Legal Fellow at the Conservative Partnership Institute and the founder and Chair of the Election Integrity Network, a CPI-affiliated initiative. She is listed in formation paperwork as Officer / co-founder of Compass Professional Inc. (2021), Managing Member / beneficial owner of Compass Legal Group LLC (2021), and Principal / Manager of Compass Property Management LLC (2022). All three Compass entities share CPI's operating address. Documented.net reporting from March 2024 establishes that Compass Legal represents Valid Vote, the nonprofit that manages the EagleAI NETwork voter-roll-challenge software. Mitchell is also a Bradley Foundation board member, a co-founder of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, and a host of the Who's Counting? podcast at whoscounting.us.
The investigation
The operative as hub
Cleta Mitchell is the Senior Legal Fellow at the Conservative Partnership Institute and the founder and chair of the Election Integrity Network. Both roles are confirmed on CPI's own staff page and in InfluenceWatch's biography of her. EIN is one of the affiliated initiatives CPI lists in its own materials, alongside America First Legal (Stephen Miller), the Center for Renewing America (Russell Vought), the State Freedom Caucus Network, and several others.
The three Compass entities
Mitchell is the named controlling figure in formation paperwork for three Delaware companies, all operating from CPI's address at 300 Independence Avenue SE. Compass Professional Inc. (2021): Mitchell is Officer and co-founder. Compass Legal Group LLC (2021): Mitchell is Managing Member and beneficial owner, working alongside attorney William Klimon. Compass Property Management LLC (2022): Mitchell is Principal and Manager. All three companies appear as paid vendors in CPI's 2022 and 2023 IRS Form 990 filings, with combined payments exceeding $2.4 million in a single year per POLITICO Influence reporting from November 2024.
The Valid Vote and EagleAI link
Documented.net reported in March 2024 that Compass Legal Group is counsel to Valid Vote, the nonprofit that manages the EagleAI NETwork, a voter-roll-challenge software tool that operationalises mass challenges against names on voter rolls. The legal-services relationship sits inside the same controlling-figure orbit as the Compass entities themselves: Mitchell is both the controlling officer at the law firm and the head of the political initiative (EIN) that has championed voter-roll-challenge programs.
Adjacent affiliations
Beyond CPI and the Compass cluster, Mitchell sits on the Bradley Foundation board, is a co-founder of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, has documented ties to the Council for National Policy, and hosts the Who's Counting? podcast at whoscounting.us. She was a member of Trump's 2020 election challenge team. The 2021 founding wave of the Compass entities is concurrent with her CPI appointment, with the formation of the Election Integrity Network, and with her departure from the law firm Foley & Lardner.
What remains to source
The diagram and prose above are conservative readings of the documents in the research vault. Items that would strengthen the investigation include: the specific filings establishing Mitchell as the controlling figure of the three Compass entities (Delaware corporate registration documents); the EIN's specific 501(c) registration (it operates inside CPI's 501(c)(3) rather than as a separate filer); and the financial flows between EIN, Valid Vote, EagleAI, and any donor or vendor entities. Those items are listed in the source documents but not all are linked to specific filings yet.

25 itemized disbursements totaling $286,696.79, 2024-02-14 to 2026-03-22, purpose field literally "CAGING" on every line. Committee treasurer of record: Lisa Lisker. Compass Professional Inc. is the same Delaware entity Mitchell is listed as Officer / co-founder of in its 2021 formation paperwork. Note: FEC "caging" purpose codes conventionally describe donor-mail response processing, a standard PAC back-office service; this record does not by itself establish the payments relate to voter-roll list challenges rather than routine contribution-mail handling.
