On Wednesday, Attorney Erick Kaardal laid out a compelling case that Wisconsin’s participation in ERIC, the Electronic Registration Information Center, violates the federal Help America Vote Act, HAVA.
Special counsel to Thomas More Law Society Eric Kaardal explained his objection to WisVote using the third-party voter roll maintenance group ERIC in front of the WI State Legislature Committee on Campaigns.
“In violation of the federal Help America Vote Act, the Wisconsin Election Commission has contracted with Electronic Registration Information Center, Inc. to maintain and implement ‘WisVote’” Kaardal added that the “delegation of this government function to an outside entity has enabled the potential rigging of Wisconsin’s federal elections towards particular federal candidates.”
