33 million voters have been run through a Trump administration citizenship check

Tens of millions of voters have had their citizenship status and other information checked using a revamped tool offered by the Trump administration, even as many states — led by both Democrats and Republicans — are refusing or hesitating to use it because of outstanding questions about the system.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) says election officials have used the tool to check the information of more than 33 million voters — a striking portion of the American public, considering little information has been made public about the tool's accuracy or data security.

The latest update to the system, known as SAVE, took effect Aug. 15 and allows election officials to use just the last four digits of voters' Social Security numbers — along with names and dates of birth — to check if the voters are U.S. citizens, or if they have died.

Um… is this legal? I thought by law Social Security information was restricted access. Well it seems to be legal! It turns out that,

The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Program: This is a key mechanism. It's a system run by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that allows state agencies, including election officials, to verify the citizenship and immigration status of individuals. The SAVE program can query databases from various federal agencies, including the SSA, using information like a person's name, date of birth, and Social Security Number.

So Big Brother is digging through our SS data. It is kind of like fishing with dynamite… you throw it into the lake...Boom and all the stunned fish float to the surface to be scooped up.

The upgrade makes the tool far more accessible, since it now aligns with the information most states collect or have access to for most voters. But the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which houses USCIS, has not responded to questions about the system from members of Congress, and numerous election officials NPR spoke with expressed concern about what else the Trump administration could do with the data it acquires from states.

"There's still uncertainty about what is happening, what happens to the data that are shared with USCIS," said Charles Stewart, a political science professor who directs the MIT Election Data and Science Lab. "I don't know if this means that the USCIS now has a depository of one-sixth of all [the country's] registered voters."

Are you scared yet?

Authoritarian government love databases of their peons so they can track them… Hmm, let me see all those who changed their gender markers… and let’s cross-reference against the voter lists to get their address and send out the Gestapo um.. er ICE.

Are you scared now?
