    If he will do that regardless, and this would make it easier to do that, why is it alarmist? :p

    There is another aspect of the SAVE Act that is not getting much attention. It requires states to submit their complete voter registration lists to DHS for verification through the SAVE system. DHS is not a federal election agency. There is no constitutional agency that runs federal voting. But under this bill, DHS could access nearly every voter’s registration information, including in some states their party affiliation, which could theoretically be used for partisan targeting.

    The DHS SAVE tool / system itself is far from perfect. It is being used to flag non-citizens, but it sometimes misidentifies real citizens as non-citizens. That means a single clerical or database error could remove legitimate voters. Depending on which demographics are most affected, this could indirectly favor one party over another. TX already documented these issues, where nearly a hundred citizens (likely much more) were misidentified as non-citizens.

    The bill also allows federal agencies to share information with each other to help states verify eligibility. This creates centralized federal access to voter data that has never existed before and opens the door to profiling or misuse, even without knowing how anyone voted.

    Even if no one ever sees your ballot, this bill creates a system where your voter registration and citizenship data could be scrutinized, centralized, and potentially misused in ways that could affect elections.

    I think we should have a national id establish at birth or naturalization and tied to your DNA sample.
