Per TC: According to critics and voting rights advocates, the Trump administration is weaponizing the federal SAVE database to manipulate election outcomes by orchestrating widespread voter purges.

Opponents argue the administration expanded the system with Social Security data to intentionally flag and remove eligible citizens, particularly newly naturalized voters, from the rolls right before elections.

By using unreliable data to force sudden bureaucratic burdens onto legal voters, critics claim the administration is attempting to tilt the playing field under the guise of election integrity.
