Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, database was created as a tool to maintain accurate voter rolls and combat fraud by allowing states to know when someone moves, dies or registers elsewhere.​

Alabama’s new secretary of state has announced the state’s withdrawal from a 32-state voter-registration partnership, a data-sharing effort that was designed to maintain accurate voter rolls but has sometimes become the target of right-wing ire and conspiracy theories.

A day after being sworn in on Jan. 17, Secretary of State Wes Allen sent a letter to the Electronic Registration Information Center, a nonprofit linking 32 states and the District of Columbia, saying the state will no longer participate in the sharing of voter registration data.

'ERIC' allows access to information otherwise unavailable, such as driver's licenses and the voter registration records in other states... tools considered vital in the upkeep of database information intended to keep track of voter fraud. The former secretary of state, another republican, considers ERIC an essential tool to prevent fraud, as does Raffensperger who used Georgia's adoption of ERIC to campaign on. Maybe it's no great surprise that Louisiana has also dropped out of the ERIC agreement.

so i don't wanna hear any republicans bleating about voter fraud if they agree with alabama and louisiana on this.

I saw this earlier today. It's a stupid move. I would prefer every state to be transparent with their methodologies and certainly include independent analysis to help drove improvement to the processes. The more we involve parties that aren't seeking to gain or retain power as their motivations, the better

Yeah, if they were actually concerned about voter fraud as they claim...

Yeah, if they were actually concerned about voter fraud as they claim...

But we already knew they are not!

Accurate and unbiased data can be problematic when your goal is to invalidate as many votes as possible and confuse the public with baseless conspiracy theories.

They are only concerned with "Voter Fraud" when a Republican candidate loses; fancy that!

Not missing the point at all, chum.
Merely having some fun with your whackadoodle "corruption! CORRUPTION! TEH DEEEEEP STATE!" conspiracy theories.

To be completely clear here old man, I am mocking you, your mindset, your beliefs, your upbringing, and your lack of achievement in life.

The Deep South has to work to keep them down on the farm.

ERIC has been shown to be corrupt in how it uses the data it has access to. Many states are signing off from it. That butterfatz is upset about it only highlights how bad the org is.

So let me get this straight you think politicians are very models of integrity?

That the voter ID thing is to actually to ensure voters ID and not to control who is allowed to vote? And that politicians don’t want to control who votes to ensue they have an edge..

The fact that the Feds had to step in and oversee the redistricting of Alabama not once, not twice, not three times but four time yet you cling to the belief that that politicians are honest and will do the right thing? Why?

I believe politicians are in it for themselves and only for themselves. As far as I can tell politicians have only two goals the first is to get elected, the second is to get reelected. Nothing else matter to them and they’ll do whatever it takes to achieve those goals..

Eric has 16 states full data which gives politicians 16 times more opportunity to mock up the works the works in 16 states. AVID allows politicians to only screw up Alabama.

Do you honesty think when politicians call for voter ID because they are worried about ID of the person voting?

When politicians call for an end to mail in voting they are doing it because mail in votes aren’t on the up and up?

When politicians draw up districts they always go it in a way the is fair, they never do it to give an advantage to their party?

Do you honestly think Florida/Georgia/Texas-style omnibus voting restrictions are to ensure voter integrity?

I’ll give you a clue, they are not worried in the least about voter integrity they are worried about losing an advantage and will use any means necessary to keep that advantage.. Yet you are telling me politicians are not corrupt.. You sweet summer child.

Still waiting for reply to these questions:
