Right-wing conspiracies have a new target: a tool that fights actual voter fraud
The decade-old program now includes more than 30 states spanning the political spectrum, from Republican-led places like Alabama and South Carolina to more liberal states like Connecticut and Oregon. And it's helped states remove more than 500,000 dead people from voter rolls since its founding, according to a tracker on the partnership website.
On Jan. 20, the far-right blog The Gateway Pundit published the first of a number of articles about the program,
falsely implying it is part of a left-wing election conspiracy.
Seven days later, Louisiana withdrew its membership, becoming the first state since ERIC's founding to do so.
So why is this system being targeted then?
"They don't care about actual integrity," "They only care that their side wins. That is the most anti-democratic idea that I can imagine."
Welcome to the New GOP from election laws to cultural wars to gerrymandering They only care that their side wins. while yelling Freedom and we are ! the True American patriots! taking our Country Back
