Texas Voter Rolls in Chaos: Flawed Federal Tool Flags Citizens, Sparks Legal Headaches

A new federal tool, SAVE, meant to identify noncitizen voters, has repeatedly and wrongly flagged naturalized U.S. citizens in Texas and Missouri, sparking widespread confusion among election officials. This flawed rollout challenges constitutional voting rights, due process, and equal protection for citizens, while raising concerns about privacy and the accurate maintenance of voter rolls. Legal experts and local clerks criticize the system as unreliable, potentially leading to the disenfranchisement of eligible voters.
