Elections Administration

NPR reports Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson ran the state’s ~18 million voter registrations through DHS’s overhauled SAVE system in October, flagging 2,724 'potential noncitizens' (~0.015%) and prompting counties to send 30‑day proof‑of‑citizenship notices with cancellation upon non‑response. The piece documents at least one naturalized U.S. citizen wrongly flagged and removed and notes the Trump administration has linked SAVE to Social Security (since May) and State Department passport data, with about 47 million voter records queried nationally.
