Trump doubles down on federal voter data push after mail-ballot setback

President Trump continues efforts to reshape election administration by promoting a sweeping federal voter-eligibility data system (SAVE) and pressuring states to share registration information, even after a court blocked a newer SAVE version and amid privacy concerns. The administration has urged data preservation and cross-agency data sharing, with warnings of potential funding consequences for noncompliance. While investigations have shown noncitizen voting to be exceedingly rare, officials warn that the push represents a broader federal role in election security as the Supreme Court weighs mail-ballot restrictions and other changes.
