Florida has agreements with other states to share voter data, but how many?
More than 2 1/2 years after Florida dropped its association with a bipartisan national voter database, Secretary of State Cord Byrd said Wednesday that the state has formed agreements with “multiple states” to share that voter information.
“Most of our transient people are coming from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, the states close to you,” Byrd told the House Government Operations Subcommittee. “So we’ve entered into memorandums of understanding in data sharing.”
How many states Florida has such MOUs with isn’t clear, but the Phoenix has learned that Florida has such agreements with at least four states: Alabama, Georgia, Ohio, and West Virginia.
Byrd announced in March 2023 that after 3 1/2 years, Florida was terminating its membership in the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), then a consortium of 30 states that shared data with each other to keep voter rolls accurate. The Sunshine State was one of several mostly conservative-led states to announce withdrawal, and it took place on the same day that President Donald Trump called on all Republican governors to leave ERIC.
