Trump's Campaign Against ERIC Threatens Election Integrity

Experts Warn of Potential Chaos in 2024 Elections as States Withdraw from Voter Registration System

Former President Donald Trump and his supporters are targeting the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a system used by states to organize voter registration data, potentially leading to chaos in the 2024 elections.
Trump has called ERIC a 'terrible Voter Registration System that ‘pumps the rolls’ for Democrats' and has encouraged Republican secretaries of state to withdraw from it.
Since Trump's campaign against ERIC, the system has gone from being used by 33 states to just 24.
Experts warn that the anti-ERIC campaign could lead to voter lists being 'significantly less accurate' and fuel false narratives about supposedly stolen elections.
MAGA-aligned attorney Cleta Mitchell and others are promoting a new tool, dubbed the EagleAI Network, as a replacement for ERIC, but critics argue it is 'utterly unreliable' and could result in 'a terrific number of challenges to voters who are registered and eligible.'
