Here is an explainer of DHS's role as elections as critical infrastructure. Pursuing vote fraud claims is outside the mandate, which is primarily information sharing https://www.eac.gov/assets/1/6/starting_point_us_election_systems_as_Critical_Infrastructure.pdf …

My Spidey-sense is tingling a lawsuit challenging ICE's role in investigating vote fraud claims. What is the legal rational for ICE (much less DHS) to take this role? I'm not even sure Trump could issue an executive order. He may need an act of Congress

Here's a cheery thought: What if ICE rounded up all the noncitizens here legally whose names happen to match in the INS and voter file databases? While exact birthdates may help reduce match errors, many states didn't give that info to Trump's voter integrity commission

This could work in reverse, too, with ICE rounding up US citizens who are registered voters under the pretext that they are not citizens because they matched to the INS database

Fact Check: The Republican Mississippi Secretary of State told Trump's commission to go jump in the Gulf of Mexico over their data request Even co-chair of the commission, Koback, refused to provide all the Kansas desired datahttps://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/948872192284155904 …

I agree with Trump on this: Like other democracies around the world, we need a mandatory national identity card issued by the federal government when people turn 16 that serves as voter registration and voter id (as well as to better track immigration)https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/948872192284155904 …

Congress can use Art I, Sec 4 power to regulate federal elections to compel states to provide voter data. When I worked for the Defense Dept to improve voting for our military, some states did not give data because federal government not permitted ithttps://twitter.com/ElectProject/status/948937259889328128 …
