Texas joins the Soros-scared retreat from voter roll verification | Opinion
Now, nine GOP-led states have withdrawn from the Electronic Registration Information Center, created in 2012 to help resolve discrepancies in registration rolls. The voluntary consortium helps states cleanse their rolls by creating a database to prevent double voting and advising local officials when a registered voter has died or moved.
Within days, according to a lengthy expose by National Public Radio, Louisiana Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin told conservative activists he was putting Louisiana’s membership in the organization on hold, citing “concerns raised by citizens, government watchdog organizations and media reports.” In Ohio, Secretary of State Frank LaRose abandoned his prior support for the organization while considering entry into the GOP primary for U.S. senator. He cited its failure “to embrace reforms that would bolster confidence in its performance” and choosing “to double-down on poor strategic decisions, which have only resulted in the transformation of a previously bipartisan organization to one that appears to favor only the interests of one political party.
Politics is also evident in Texas. Upon joining the organization in 2020, a statement from the Texas secretary of state’s office said, the move would “assist Texas elections officials in identifying and conducting outreach to eligible but unregistered voters to encourage them to register to vote” and help “identify voters who have moved within Texas, voters who have moved out of Texas, voters who have died, and voters with duplicate registrations in Texas.
