Midterms Face Data Security Nightmare

Election and privacy experts are raising alarms about the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE Program as the 2026 midterm elections approach. The program, expanded under the Trump administration to identify non-citizens voting, is criticized for centralizing voter data in a dangerous and error-prone manner. Concerns include potential disenfranchisement of voters, increased risk of data breaches, and voter intimidation, all stemming from a perceived problem that experts argue is minimal. This expansion could lead to significant security vulnerabilities and undermine voter confidence.
