Trump administration takes steps on election security and voter rolls
Washington, September 8 (Hibya) - The administration of US President Donald Trump announced new steps involving states as part of efforts to ensure the accuracy of voter registration records and combat election irregularities.
According to information shared by the White House, the Department of Justice (DOJ) filed lawsuits to gain access to voter registration records from a number of states that refused to provide them. It was also claimed that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) identified more than 250,000 undocumented migrants on voter rolls in four Democrat-led states.
The statement said letters were sent to election officials in all 50 states instructing them to keep voter registration lists accurate and up to date, warning that they could otherwise face criminal prosecution.
The statement also said DHS launched a new wave of investigations into alleged voter fraud in nine states ahead of the midterm elections, while the Department of Justice filed lawsuits against 15 states in 2025 to obtain access to voter registration records and handled 800 percent more alleged election fraud cases than in the previous year.
