Day 947 of GOP election denier hysteria (Trump Big Lie Clown Show Circus, Louisiana edition)

"This week I sent a letter to [ERIC], suspending Louisiana's participation inthat program," Ardoin said. 
At the time, in early 2022, most Americans had never heard of ERIC. 
But in Houma, it seems in large part due to a far-right misinformation machine, Ardoin's announcement garnered 15 seconds of applause. 
It was the first of many times to come in which Republican officials would turn their back on this tool they once praised, in an effort to score political points with their base. 
This NPR investigation, which found video of the Houma event posted to Facebook, is the first to report that Ardoin announced his ERIC decision to conservative activists.
