As the 2026 midterm elections approach, the expansion of the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program is raising serious alarms among election and privacy experts. This initiative, initially designed to identify noncitizens who may vote, poses a risk of disenfranchising thousands, if not millions, of registered voters. The centralization of voter data under this program could lead to dangerous inaccuracies and potential data breaches, compromising the integrity of the electoral process. Experts argue that the federal government lacks the necessary authority and safeguards to manage such a sensitive undertaking, which is aimed at addressing a problem that may not even exist.
