Trump thwarted in hunt for rare noncitizen voters as midterms near
Officials say the effort has produced some legitimate cases, but federal law and court rulings have limited broad voter-roll purges before the midterms.
- Five weeks before Election Day, President Donald Trump's sprawling effort to identify and remove noncitizen voters hasn't produced large purges that could meaningfully affect the midterm elections, as Supreme Court protections limit immediate impact.
- The Trump administration repurposed SAVE, previously used to verify benefit eligibility, into a citizenship verification tool that Republicans hail as a powerful measure to ensure voter roll accuracy.
- Critics including the Center for Democracy & Technology warn that SAVE relies on outdated data, creating false positives; studies show noncitizen voting is extremely rare, with the Census identifying just 0.015% in 2020.
- Separately, District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan on Monday blocked the administration's attempt to require SAVE for FEMA grants, while the Supreme Court allowed limited access despite the National Voter Registration Act's quiet period.
- The Supreme Court is set to hold oral arguments in December regarding the National Voter Registration Act's quiet period, potentially giving states more leeway to purge voters in future elections.
