When DHS, USCIS, and DOGE announced the overhaul of the SAVE program,

they explicitly linked the effort to a campaign to combat the “taint” of noncitizen voter fraud,

a long-standing claim tied to the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

By all appearances, the administration is poised to use the SAVE program to prop up these false claims,

and sympathetic local officials may deploy SAVE to concoct evidence.

This move poses serious risks to voters and elections.
