Far-right attacks on ERIC, a voter fraud detection tool.

The far right has targeted the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a bipartisan voting partnership that helps identify dead people on voting lists and catch if someone votes in more than one state, fracturing a partnership that had 32 member states at its height. Eight states where Republicans oversee voting have so far pulled out of ERIC, making voter fraud easier to get away with. The Gateway Pundit, a right-wing website, published a series of articles that falsely said the partnership was a "left wing voter registration drive," bankrolled by billionaire George Soros, aimed at helping Democrats win elections.
