As a non-american I had no prior knowledge of ERIC but this article is probably one of the worst I've read this year. I can't tell if it's supposed to be an opinion piece or just very biased. It leaves so many questions. Why would states take fringe far-right conspiracy nuts for their word? What's the issue with ERIC? What's the claim based on that it's impossible to replicate it?
- throwayyy479087 4y agoNPR is very biased against the GOP - arguably less so against the Right - because the GOP vocally wants to pull their funding. It's a pretty simple institutional conflict result. Unfortunately, it means that NPR/PBS is no longer the true-centrist news source it was designed to be.
- jfengel 4y agoWhy would states take fringe far-right conspiracy nuts for their word? Because they are a large part of the voting base, and they're very influential with the rest of it. What's the issue with ERIC? ERIC undermines their claims about widespread election fraud. It ensures that voters can't vote in different states or allow impersonation of dead people. What's the claim based on that it's impossible to replicate it? It's an agreement between states to share data, and there is no other source of similar data.
