Trump Administration Building National Citizenship Database to Verify Voters
Original: How Trump Is Building a National Citizenship Database to Check Voters
The Trump administration is developing a national citizenship database that would be used to check whether people registering to vote are US citizens, according to a New York Times explainer. The system would give states a federal tool for voter eligibility checks, a step election officials and critics have long debated. Supporters frame it as a safeguard against noncitizen voting, which is rare, while opponents warn it could purge eligible voters and centralize sensitive data ahead of elections.
Why now: Voter eligibility and election integrity are highly contested issues ahead of upcoming US elections.
