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.
- The Trump administration expanded the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE database and pressed states to search voter rolls for noncitizens ahead of the 2026 midterms.
- On September 25, 2026, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that states may access SAVE, but the National Voter Registration Act's 90-day 'quiet period' prohibits systematic voter purges before federal elections.
- Nevada officials discovered that every individual on a DHS-flagged list of 185 suspected noncitizen voters was a U.S. citizen, underscoring reliability problems with SAVE's outdated data.
- Attorney General Todd Blanche announced federal charges against 10 people in Minnesota on Wednesday, yet experts note such cases remain 'vanishingly rare' compared to millions of ballots cast.
- A whistleblower report filed with Congress alleges the 'Unlawful Voter Initiative' may violate state laws by directing agents to use potentially illegal methods to access voter records.
