Tallahassee, FL: Today it was announced that the Florida Department of State will be withdrawing from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC).
Here is Representative Anna V. Eskamani’s statement in response:
“This is a terrible decision that is 100% fueled by election deniers and Governor DeSantis’ presidential bid. ERIC has helped states maintain clean voter rolls and share voter information across state lines to ensure transparency, integrity and security with our elections system. Joining ERIC was once a bipartisan policy decision and leaving actually makes it easier for Florida Republicans to modify voter information with no oversight. We are quickly degrading as a state but I won’t stop fighting for a Florida that serves all.”
