President Doesn’t Get To Decide Who Votes. Block This Executive Order.

To: Sen. Cornyn, Rep. Casar, Sen. Cruz

From: A verified voter in Austin, TX

April 8

The DOJ demanded unredacted voter rolls from 48 states. Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, dates of birth. Thirty states refused. The DOJ sued them. Its acting voting chief told a judge the data hadn’t been used. Days later he admitted in a filing it had. The DOJ’s privacy officer resigned. Two DOGE staffers were referred to a watchdog for matching Social Security numbers to voter rolls. Judges in California, Oregon, and Michigan threw out the lawsuits. On March 31, Trump ordered DHS to build lists of “approved” voters and told the Postal Service not to deliver ballots to anyone not on that list. The database behind all of this, DHS’s SAVE system, was built for immigration status, not elections. It flags citizens as non-citizens. Flagged voters get referred to ICE. Former DOJ attorney David Becker: “We have no idea what the government is doing with this data.” Election law expert Justin Levitt called each of the 17 voter rolls already collected “a criminal violation.” States have run their own elections for 250 years. Block this executive order. Ban the federal government from compelling states to surrender voter data. Prohibit use of SAVE for voter eligibility. No president gets to decide who can vote. If you let this one do it, the next one will too.
