The Republican-led state legislatures of Georgia and Utah are considering legislation to leave a voter roll data group, pushing back on their respective GOP state election officials who have advocated for remaining in the coalition.
A nonprofit organization called the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), was founded in 2012 and calls itself "the most effective tool available to help election officials maintain more accurate voter rolls and detect possible illegal voting."for voter roll maintenance has had nine GOP-led states leave it since 2022, with two more looking to follow their lead.

As these state legislatures have been concerned about the group’s lack of effectiveness, Republican state election officials have claimed the organization is needed for voter roll maintenance and that there is no suitable replacement.
Since 2022, nine GOP-led states have left ERIC, amid such concerns as partisan influence, increasing costs, and a failure to address voter fraud. The states that left ERIC are Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Texas was the most recent state to leave the group in 2023. ERIC’s membership had grown to 33 states and Washington, D.C., until Louisiana began the exodus in 2022.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) has also long been a proponent of ERIC. In January 2024, the secretary of state’s office credited ERIC with helping Georgia officials identify 17 cases of suspected double voting in the 2022 general election, which were referred to local district attorneys.

President Donald Trump in March 2023 told Republican states to leave ERIC, posting on Truth Social, “All Republican Governors should immediately pull out of ERIC, the terrible Voter Registration System that ‘pumps the rolls’ for Democrats and does nothing to clean them up. It is a fools game [sic] for Republicans.

Oh, well, say no more. I remember this guy.
ERIC is used by the Democrats to make sure illegal voters are NOT removed from voter rolls.
ERIC has been used in Wisconsin for years. They repeatedly refuse to take ineligible voters off the rolls. From what I see, they are designed to benefit the Left, with a degree of plausible deniability.
that eric ?
