Texas announced last week that it will leave a national voter fraud prevention coalition. It's the ninth and largest state to withdraw from the program. | via TexasStandard
The Electronic Information Registration Center, or ERIC, is used by over half of U.S. states to maintain accurate voter rolls by comparing data and weeding out duplicates. The bipartisan group was once hailed as a tool to prevent voter fraud, until it became the target of election conspiracy theories last year.
Do I understand correctly that ERIC primarily existed so that election officials could detect and then delete duplicate registrations? Is that the prime purpose of a system like ERIC? So the United States does not have a national database of registered voters or any sort of national ID system.
It wasn’t perfect to begin with, presumably because you didn’t have all states buying into ERIC. So it wasn’t 100% conclusive that the person that you might think is on one roll or may be missing from the ERIC database wasn’t in fact in some other state, correct?So I mean, at the beginning of this year, 32 states plus Washington D.C. had opted into ERIC. So that’s not 100%. But also that is the absolute best database that has existed before Texas joined ERIC.
So you mentioned this is happening in the run up to the 2024 election. How could Texas’ exodus from ERIC or the exodus of other states really affect the outcome of that election and the aftermath?
