Abstract

This article explores former President Donald Trump's campaign against the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a nonpartisan organization that helps modernize voter-registration data. Trump and his allies have spread baseless conspiracy theories about ERIC's involvement in election rigging, leading several Republican-led states to withdraw from the organization. This could potentially result in inaccurate voter lists and chaos in future elections. The article also discusses the efforts of MAGA Republicans to undermine election integrity, including the rise of Mike Johnson and the influence of right-wing think tanks like Project 2025. Strategies such as recruiting poll watchers, restricting voting access, and challenging voter eligibility through software like EagleAI are also mentioned. The article concludes by highlighting the lack of pushback within the Republican Party against Trump's authoritarianism. [Extracted from the article]
