[EL] Duplicate registration compact

[David Becker]

Ed is correct. ERIC currently provides five reports to the nine states and DC that participate:


*         Voters moving in-state

*         Voters moving from/to another ERIC state

*         Deaths

*         In-state duplicates

*         Eligible citizens who are not yet registered

More information about ERIC can be found on ERIC's website, www.ericstates.org<http://www.ericstates.org>.

If you go to this page<http://www.pewstates.org/research/featured-collections/electronic-registration-information-center-eric-85899426022>, it appears that ERIC is not just checking for duplications, but for moves, deaths, and unregistered voters.

To my recollection, FL does not share social security number data with other states for the matching process. Either state law does not permit it, they choose not to share it, or it may not be info the voter provides on the application. SSN info is an important part of the matching process. I'm just guessing but that issue may have something to do with FL's departure.

My understanding is that Oregon left to join ERIC. ERIC is fantastic. Some states do both, some do neither, and some do one or the other.

As the Bauer-Ginsbeg (PCEA) report concluded, Crosscheck is plenty reliable, particularly for those who share SSN information which are most states involved. It is what states make of it and certainly not the boogeyman portrayed by many. I still have a hard time getting my head around why a program that has blue, red, and purple states involved is so maligned. I suspect its more of a political attack than anything else.
