NC Republicans prohibit the state joining an organization meant to keep voter rolls clean

[RandySF]

State House and Senate Republicans agree that North Carolina will not join a multi-state effort to maintain accurate voter rolls.

Both chambers included provisions in their budget proposals that prohibit the state from participating in the Electronic Registration Information Center and eliminate what was to be next year’s $35,000 membership fee.

Republican states started abandoning ERIC after a right-wing disinformation campaign.

ERIC was built to use matching software to identify for voters who may have left the state, voters who may have moved in-state, voters with duplicate registrations, and voters who died. Participating states receive periodic reports with that information.

ERIC also uses driver registration data to send states information on people who may be eligible to vote but who are not registered.

Republican states have objected to voter-outreach, States Newsroom has reported.

1. Two thoughts...

1)They want to increase the probability of relatively easily verifiable voter fraud so that later they can dispute elections

2) they want to make it easier for their voters to commit voting fraud, by voting in multiple jurisdictions (which can be done more easily if you have properties in multiple jurisdictions). I mean, most of the people that were caught voting more than once were Republicans.

Ironically, most of the people that get caught casring multiple votes get slaps on the wrist, while people that voted when they couldn't because they were inelligible due to past criminal convictions and may have been confused about their status (or told they could vote) get the book thrown at them.
