DHS Pushes Toward Nationwide Voter Eligibility Lists, Sparking Privacy Fights
TL;DR Summary
The Department of Homeland Security unveiled a 'State Citizenship Lists Portal' to centralize federal data for a planned nationwide voter-eligibility list, part of President Trump’s order. Critics say the federal government lacks authority to run such lists and privacy protections are inadequate; EPIC has filed a lawsuit against DHS and SSA. The portal was expected to be functional by Sept. 4, but the site reportedly went down, raising questions about implementation for the midterms.
