For more than a decade, the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) has helped states ensure that people don't vote in more than one state in the same election. So you would think that the GOP, who are always screeching about non-existent voter fraud, would want to be part of ERIC, right?

Seriously, Nikki, do you really think that you can be elected President when only 18% of voters in YOUR OWN STATE say they'll vote for you? Your record in SC and in the previous administration shows that you are radically out of step with what voters want in a leader.
