Trump Administration Expands SAVE Voter Checks Across 25 States
The program flagged about 24,000 potential noncitizens and 350,000 possible dead voters as states face lawsuits over mass voter-roll checks.
- At least 25 states have used the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE program to verify voter rolls since April 2025, after Republican President Donald Trump significantly expanded the system's search capabilities to process over 60 million registrations.
- Trump is pushing to federalize election functions by requiring states to submit unredacted voter information for mass verification through the Justice Department, claiming the effort ensures compliance with federal law and accurate voter lists.
- Citizenship and Immigration Services reports these checks identified about 24,000 potential noncitizens and about 350,000 people who appear to have died, representing only a fraction of 1% of the total registrations processed.
- Voting rights advocates have filed at least six federal lawsuits challenging the program, citing cases where eligible voters like 29-year-old Anthony Nel were mistakenly flagged and had registrations canceled due to system errors.
- Critics worry the error-prone system could purge valid voters before November elections, while the administration maintains it is "committed to helping eliminate voter fraud" to restore Americans' trust in elections.
