[Source.](https://thefederalist.com/2023/05/23/judge-greenlights-election-integrity-lawsuit-seeking-eric-voter-data-in-alaska-after-lt-gov-tried-to-shut-it-down/) > Alegal group’s lawsuit to obtain Alaska’s ERIC data reports about “potentially deceased registrants on the state’s voter rolls” may proceed, a district court ruled last week. > As The Federalist previously reported, the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, is a widely used voter-roll management organization founded by Democrat activist David Becker that was “sold to states as a quick and easy way to update their voter rolls.” In actuality, ERIC inflates voter rolls by requiring member states to contact eligible but unregistered residents to register to vote. > In their lawsuit against Alaska Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) is alleging that “ERIC reports are ‘records’ subject to the disclosure provision of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).” Under the NVRA, states are required to make “available for public inspection, for a period of at least two years, all records concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters.” The two exceptions to this provision are documents revealing the identity of the government agency through which any particular registrant was registered and those showing an individual declined to register to vote.
