DHS whistleblower alleges employees lied to access state voter data

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A whistleblower within the Department of Homeland Security has alleged that employees were instructed to access state voter databases in ways that may violate state laws. This policy, reportedly part of the Trump administration's efforts to investigate voter fraud, could lead to errors affecting naturalized citizens and potentially subjecting them to unwarranted scrutiny. The whistleblower's report, released by Senate Democrats, details concerns that officers are being pressured to use potentially inaccurate data and may be making false statements to access private voter information.
