Conservative group opposes voter roll improvement partnership.

Conservative group Judicial Watch has joined Donald Trump and other election denial groups in attacking the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a bipartisan consortium of over two dozen states that exchange voter registration data to ensure election security. The group released a flawed report alleging potential violations of federal law by ERIC, falsely slamming it as a “syndicate founded by leftists” and charging that it has been “far more effective at swelling voter registration rolls than at keeping them clean”. ERIC was started in 2012 by seven states, including four led by Republicans, and is the sole data-sharing program for states since there is no clearinghouse for voter registration.
