ERIC Data-Sharing Alliance Uncovers Alleged Double Voting Case
Votebeat reports a five-year-old double voting case in Pennsylvania revealed through ERIC data, leading to charges against Matthew Laiss.
Officials uncovered the case with the help of a voter roll maintenance program that has been the target of conservative attacks in recent years.
- The case involved Matthew Laiss, who moved from Pennsylvania to Florida in August 2020.
- Laiss allegedly voted both in person in Florida and via mail ballot in Bucks County in that year’s November election, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors announced charges against Laiss in early September.
Pennsylvania’s Department of State confirmed the alleged double vote was identified using data from the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC.
