Ohio Joins Growing List of States Withdrawing from Voter Integrity Group.
TL;DR
Ohio has become the latest Republican-led state to withdraw from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a data-sharing consortium that helps keep voter rolls updated and free of opportunities for fraud. Ohio joins five other Republican-led states that have exited over the past year, citing unproven security concerns and alleged partisanship from the group's governance. ERIC's remaining members deny the accusations and warn that the organization's collapse would eliminate one of the most powerful tools for keeping ballot fraud at bay just as states are beginning to prepare for the 2024 election calendar.
