Florida, Missouri, and West Virginia announced on March 6 that they are withdrawing from a nationwide coalition built to allow elections officials from different states to cross-check data in confirming the accuracy of their voter rolls.

The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) has been under fire from Republicans in several states in the wake of 2021 allegations by Gateway Pundit that it was “a left-wing voter registration drive disguised as voter roll clean-up.”
