Four GOP-led states settled a lawsuit, gaining faster access to federal citizenship data for voter checks in exchange for sharing driver’s license info with DHS.
Four Republican-led states—Florida, Indiana, Iowa, and Ohio—have settled a lawsuit over federal access to citizenship data for voter verification, gaining expanded use of the upgraded SAVE program to check voter eligibility with bulk searches using names, birth dates, and government IDs, with results in 48 hours.
In exchange, they will share driver’s license records with DHS to improve the database and must develop memorandums of understanding with the federal government.
The changes, which make the system free for election officials and eliminate the need for DHS-issued IDs, are expected to impact the 2026 midterms.
While noncitizen voting is rare and illegal, the move has drawn criticism from voting rights advocates concerned about wrongful removals, and the DOJ’s request for voter rolls from multiple states has raised data security concerns.
