In the time since then, academics and lawmakers continue to find new ways to use the extensive EIRS data set. Here is a list of information published with data from the EIRS.

    • "The core of our American democracy is the right to vote.

And I think what we're encountering is a pivotal moment in our democracy where all of that is being called into question." (more here)
