[EL] Duplicate registration compact

[Zachary Roth]

"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."

No, Oregon left Crosscheck because it said the data was
unreliable<http://miamiherald.typepad.com/nakedpolitics/2014/04/florida-no-longer-part-of-controversial-national-voter-data-project.html>.
Oregon told me the Crosscheck program sent them a list of something like
100 voters believed to have voted in more than one state, via the SS# and
DOB match technique. Upon investigation, not a single one checked out. I'm
hoping to have more on this next week. Seems applicable to the recent hype
in North Carolina about 35K double voters, few of which seem likely to
check out either.

I don't know if this is customary or not, but since this is my first post,
I figured I should introduce myself: I'm a reporter for msnbc, covering
voting rights issues. Thanks to Rick for having me.
