Two Florida men charged with filing ballots in two states in the 2020 presidential election confessed to voter fraud, according to court records.

Charles F. Barnes ... pleaded guilty to casting more than one ballot in the election.

April 2022 -
Barnes’ alleged crime was uncovered by an elections official in Connecticut who found evidence of his double votes while using a system provided by the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, a nonprofit organization that helps states improve the accuracy of America’s voter rolls.

The offices of Governor Ron DeSantis and Secretary of State Laurel Lee did not respond to questions from News 6 inquiring why Connecticut elections officials may have uncovered Barnes’ alleged crime before Florida officials did, despite both states being ERIC members.

Florida leaves ERIC compact that helps voter roll accuracy​

The move by Florida is surprising. Gov. DeSantis brought Florida into ERIC in 2019. In 2021, spokesperson Christina Pushaw told News 6′s Mike DeForest that it was done as part of efforts to enhance election security.

In January of this year, a report by the Office of Election Crimes and Security said ERIC was instrumental in finding more than 1,000 voters who may have voted in Florida as well another ERIC member state.

Unfortunately, ERIC is only good for catching the small number of actual fraudulent voters; it is of no use in finding the large amounts of imaginary fraud that certain GOP narratives require.
