Personally I wouldn't trust our Sec of State as far as I could throw him. One thing we have learned in the last couple of years is that although we have been utterly dependent on machines, there is virtually no one on the Election Boards that knows a single thing about the technology. Dominion has been taking candy from babies because they could. Until we have decent job descriptions and hiring practices and bonded and insured people running the elections at the local and state level we just create more problems that make us sitting ducks.
Just asking the question..... doing away with ERIC gives them many options, most will end up not being any better and likely even more vulnerable to hacking.
I HOPE you are right! I live in Ohio too. I worked the polls one of the last elections and found everyone completely hoodwinked by the so-called "security measures" in place.
I am very concerned that people are not paying more attention to what each state intends to replace ERIC with.
Good point. Why don't the states just run their own database on their own server? Government IT contracts are the essence of corruption.
If they figure out how to do that will they include the proper security measures to make them unhackable?
Odds are better with states running them directly and accountable to the public than with a largely unsupervised contractor.

Care to inform us?

They'll replace it with ETHAN - Election Tinkering Helpline for American Natives.
