ERIC is a fraud and a fig leaf, designed by the left to pretend voter rolls are clean.
“ERIC was supposedly designed to help states cull their lists of voters who’ve died, moved, or otherwise become ineligible.”
That is a fool’s errand, one of those things that can NEVER happen.
There is a simple solution. Just wipe the voter rolls after every presidential election and start over. Everybody must re-register IN PERSON with valid government ID. You have 3-1/2 years to re-register for the next federal election, less if you have state or local elections the following June. Just use sworn deputy registrars at every local precinct to do the job. Being a voter registrar is a great job for retired people and they would jump at the chance to ensure voting integrity.
We piss away billions every year on garbage. A nationwide program like this couldn’t cost more than a couple hundred million.
When I had to get a NY birth certificate with my parent’s names to get a passport, the ID verification was based on voter registration info I believe.
The FEC could act as a central registrar.
Any ballot for a congressional election would be provisional unless it was issued based on one’s federal tax ID, name, place & date of birth.
