DHS Approves Voter Citizenship Checks in 50 States as Mail Ballot Monitoring Starts by June End

Summary
Thursday’s DHS approval clears a plan to launch by late June that lets states verify registered voters’ citizenship and track mail-ballot flows for possible fraud signals.
States would be able to submit full voter rolls to the federal SAVE immigration database, while election officials get secure portal access to citizenship records held by USCIS, SSA and the State Department.
The filing also says DHS would work with USPS to flag unusual mail-in and absentee ballot patterns and generate investigative leads, while ballots would carry Official Election Mail labels and unique tracking barcodes.
The initiative advances Trump’s March 31 election-integrity order, which called for state citizenship lists and federal sharing of confirmed U.S. citizen data with state election officials.
