23 states are members of ERIC, a non-profit organization that shares voter registration among states. The Board mostly consists of state election chiefs, but now Republicans are leaving ERIC because they object to the fact that 2 seats reserved for expert members. The article presents evidence to debunk Republican worries that the expert members are biased against Republicans.
On the other hand, there have been some charges that ERIC can lead to people who have NOT moved being spuriously removed from voter rolls based on misidentification of people with similar names.
"Last year the organization helped member states identify more than 4.4 million potentially eligible but unregistered voters and 11 million voters who'd likely moved to another state. It also found what appeared to be 1 million duplicate names and nearly 570,600 deceased people still listed in voter registration records, ERIC reports."
