Texas latest state to leave voter roll integrity group ERIC, amid concerns of partisanship, cost

JTN: Texas is the largest and most recent state to leave the nationwide election integrity group ERIC, amid such concerns as partisan influence, increasing costs and a failure to address voter fraud. 

The nonprofit, nonpartisan group, formally known as the Electronic Registration Information Center, 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.” 

The membership-based group also says it helps states reach out to potentially eligible but not-yet-registered people with information on how to register to vote.

Texas’ recent departure follows eight other GOP-led states – dropping ERIC’s membership to just 25 states.

ERIC was founded by David Becker, who also founded the Center for Election Innovation & Research, which in 2020  received nearly $70 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.

CEIR claims the 2020 general election was “the most secure in American history.” MORE
