Charleston, W.Va – Today, WV Secretary of State Mac Warner announced West Virginia’s resignation from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). Other states joining West Virginia in resignation today are Florida and Missouri, while Louisiana and Alabama previously resigned.
On Sunday, February 19, 2023, the ERIC Board of Directors met in Washington, DC, to consider changes to the bylaws and membership agreement recommended by a bi-partisan working group of several member states. After a last-second change to the agenda and disjointed discussions interrupted numerous times by non-voting, non-dues-paying individuals, the ERIC Board rejected critical working group recommended changes that would have prevented third-party influences from serving as non-state ex officio members to the ERIC Board of Directors.
The Board also tabled the vote of several other important membership changes recommended by the bi-partisan working group, despite having months of discussions and communications with member states about the proposals.
With the ERIC Board’s recent action, the inexplicable opportunity remains for partisan, non-state actors to hold influential positions within the organization.
“There is no defensible justification to allow any opportunity for partisanship in voter registration and list maintenance, much less in the administration of our nation’s elections,” said Secretary of State Mac Warner. “It truly is a shame that an organization founded on the principle of nonpartisanship would allow the opportunity for partisanship to stray the organization from the equally important principle of upholding the public’s confidence.”
West Virginia will take the necessary steps to supplement state list-maintenance data sources that ERIC had facilitated. The State will continue list maintenance efforts to identify voters who move out of the state with the US Postal Service. Deceased voters can be identified via the Social Security Administration Master Death File, abandoned voter registrations from DMV, and other means.
“West Virginia's County Clerks have completed tremendous amounts of work and we now have the cleanest voter rolls in the history of our state,” said Warner. “That work will continue as we protect against both perceived and real threats from undue influence and partisanship in election administration.”
MONOPOLIES ARE EVERYWHERE
Consolidation and monopoly power are not limited to America’s beef industry.
Fifth generation Texas cattle rancher Shad Sullivan tells Lara Logan that the same forces affecting ranchers can be seen across agriculture and other American industries, from fertilizer and food retail to technology.
Shad argues that at the center of this consolidation is something even more valuable: data and the ability to influence both production and consumption.
Lara and Shad also discuss the federal investigation into alleged anticompetitive practices in the beef industry and scrutiny of major meatpackers and retailers.
In Episode 97 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, they examine who controls America’s beef supply, the decline of independent ranchers, foreign beef imports, country-of-origin labeling and what consolidation could mean for America’s food security and sovereignty.

WHERE DID YOUR BEEF COME FROM?
When you buy beef at the grocery store, do you actually know what country it came from?
Fifth generation Texas cattle rancher Shad Sullivan joins Lara Logan to explain Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) and why he believes American consumers should know whether the beef they are buying came from the United States or was imported from countries such as Mexico, Brazil or Argentina.
Shad explains how imported beef enters the United States with documentation identifying its country of origin, but changes made in 2015 ended federal mandatory country-of-origin labeling requirements for beef and pork at retail.
In Episode 97 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Lara and Shad examine foreign beef imports, country-of-origin labeling, the concentration of the beef-processing industry, the decline of the American cattle herd, threats to private property rights and what the loss of independent ranchers could mean for America’s food security and sovereignty.

THE BEEF MONOPOLY IS UNDER INVESTIGATION
Ranchers are not getting richer, and consumers are not paying less. According to fifth generation Texas cattle rancher Shad Sullivan, the powerful corporations controlling the middle of America’s beef supply chain are the ones benefiting.
Shad tells Lara Logan that President Trump has ordered an investigation into the nation’s largest meatpackers and that the investigation is now extending to major retailers.
In Episode 97 of Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Shad explains how four major meatpackers came to control approximately 85% of the beef-processing market while ranchers were forced off their land and consumers faced rising prices.
Lara and Shad also examine foreign beef imports, the elimination of mandatory country-of-origin labeling, the decline of the American cattle herd, threats to private property rights and what the loss of independent ranchers could mean for America’s food security and sovereignty.

Steve Hilton, Republican candidate for Governor of California, joins Going Rogue with Lara Logan to make the case that 16 years of one-party Democratic rule has driven one of America’s most powerful states into decline.

He also confronts the record of his opponent, former Biden HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, and the crisis involving hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children who entered federal care. Hilton discusses allegations from whistleblowers that safeguards were stripped away, warnings were ignored and vulnerable children were placed at risk.
