“ERIC is a leftist tool and THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES!”
Okay, I’ll take you’re word on it, since I have very limited knowledge of it. Please give examples of other alternative software. I have only heard of ERIC.
“The idea that multiple families living at the same address can be attributed to a college dorm at an Historically Black College is specious!
The actual examples show they are vacant lots or an unoccupied office.”
Is ERIC robust enough to point out anymore than there are multiple voters listed at a certain address? Is it able to identify what type of structure, if any, is at that address or does it then require further investigation to determine if the address and voters listed there are legitimate? In other words is this a case of ERIC being too limited?
I’m not defending ERIC either way because I only recently became aware of it. I do believe that a system that can automate pulling and cross referencing state voter and property data to check for fraud is vital.
ERIC is only as 'robust' as users want it to be. Nobody feeds it the information from other databases, to enable the best possible scrub.
It is a fig leaf to pretend the comparisons are being made when they are not.
As for 'alternatives', this is not the opportune time to paint a target on the best replacement. Sounds cheesy, but its true.
