SAVE America Act cleared the House, then hit a wall
The legislative history of the SAVE America Act tells its own story. The House passed the bill, and the president backs it. Yet the Senate has not brought it to a vote. Lee has pointed to resistance from both parties, though the specific senators blocking the measure and their stated objections remain publicly unclear.
The bill's stall is not new. The Senate adjourned for summer recess without acting on it, and the measure's path through the upper chamber has been uncertain since it cleared the House.
Meanwhile, the Reuters report leaves a central question unanswered: of the 30,000-plus noncitizens added to voter rolls since 2000, how many actually voted? Reuters said it could not determine that number. Opponents of proof-of-citizenship legislation have used that gap to argue the scale of the problem is overstated. Supporters counter that the inability to answer the question is itself proof the system lacks basic safeguards.
The eleven states Reuters flagged span the political map. Deep-blue California and Illinois sit alongside red-leaning Iowa, South Dakota, Texas, and Utah. Swing-state Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Ohio appear as well. The geographic spread makes it difficult to dismiss the failures as a quirk of any single state's politics or bureaucracy.
Lee's argument boils down to a simple proposition: when the system depends on noncitizens to voluntarily disclose their own ineligibility, the system will keep failing. Thirty thousand errors across a quarter-century, and those are only the ones identified in eleven states, suggest the honor system is not working. Whether the Senate acts on that evidence or continues to let the SAVE America Act collect dust is now the only question that matters.
A country that lets a pasta promotion run tighter security than a polling place has its priorities exactly backward.

Reuters finds 30,000 noncitizens on voter rolls since 2000 as Lee demands Senate act on SAVE America Act
By

Category: Elections
A Reuters investigation found more than 30,000 self-declared noncitizens landed on U.S. voter rolls over a quarter-century, and Sen. Mike Lee says the Senate's refusal to pass his proof-of-citizenship bill is the reason it keeps happening.
Lee, a Utah Republican, took the Senate floor Wednesday to confront members of both parties who have stalled the SAVE America Act, the voter-integrity bill he introduced earlier this year. His catalyst: a Reuters report published the same day documenting erroneous noncitizen registrations across eleven states, from California and Illinois to Texas and Pennsylvania.
The report identified the problem in both red and blue states, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, and Virginia round out the list, and attributed the registrations to "software glitches and clerical errors" rather than any organized scheme to register illegal immigrants.
Reuters also acknowledged that its numbers are not precise because "state data is often tentative and subject to revision," and the wire service said it could not determine how many of those noncitizens actually cast ballots.
None of that softened Lee's argument. He told colleagues the data proved a point he and other conservatives have pressed for years.
Lee: laws against noncitizen voting are 'essentially impossible to enforce'
On the Senate floor, Lee framed the problem as structural, not accidental. The current registration system relies on self-attestation, an applicant checks a box swearing citizenship, and no one verifies the claim at the point of entry. Lee called it an honor system that has failed repeatedly.
"Even though we have laws that prohibit things like noncitizen voting, those laws have been rendered difficult and essentially impossible to enforce."
He pressed the point harder with a line aimed squarely at opponents who have dismissed noncitizen voting as a negligible concern.
"That thing that they claim never happens, voter fraud or noncitizen voting, just keeps happening over and over and over again."
The SAVE America Act, which Lee introduced earlier this year, would require registrants to verify their citizenship and eligibility at the time of registration. It would also mandate voter ID and photo identification at the polls. The bill cleared the House but has stalled in the Senate, where resistance has come from Democrats and, Lee indicated, some Republicans as well. President Donald Trump supports the legislation.
New Jersey's own governor disclosed 6,600 noncitizen registrations
Reuters' eleven-state tally is not the only data point. New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, separately disclosed that 6,600 self-identified noncitizens were registered to vote in her state. Fewer than 400 of those individuals actually cast ballots, according to Sherrill's disclosure.
That New Jersey figure is notable because it comes from a Democratic governor acknowledging the problem within her own state's system. The Garden State's noncitizen registration failures have drawn scrutiny in recent months, and the numbers Sherrill released undercut the argument that proof-of-citizenship requirements solve a problem that does not exist.
Reuters, for its part, characterized the 30,000-plus registrations as "inadvertent bureaucratic failures, rather than organized efforts to register immigrants illegally." The wire service also raised "questions about whether legislative efforts to require proof of citizenship for voter registration would eliminate the issue." That framing drew a sharp response from Lee and from election-integrity advocates who argue that bureaucratic failure is precisely the condition a citizenship-verification law would correct.
Heritage fellow: treat voter registration 'as serious as Italian food'
Lee leaned into an unusual comparison during his floor speech to make the point concrete. He noted that Olive Garden requires identification to use its Never Ending Pasta Pass promotion, and argued that polling places should clear at least the same bar.
"It should not be any easier for someone to get away with voter fraud at a polling location on voting day than it is to cheat Olive Garden through its never-ending pasta pass. And yet, that's exactly where we are today."
Don Palmer, a senior legal fellow for election integrity at the Heritage Foundation, picked up the analogy in an interview with Fox News Digital. Palmer said the Reuters findings point toward a practical fix that could attract support across the aisle.
"All joking aside with the Olive Garden scenario, I love their food, and I'm more than happy to show the ID. I think the issue is I wish that the driver's license agencies and state agencies would take voter registration as serious as Italian food."
Palmer outlined a specific path forward: upgrade the citizenship-verification systems at state driver's license agencies and strengthen the federal REAL ID program so that voter-registration databases catch noncitizens before they land on the rolls.
He told Fox News Digital that the approach could bypass the political impasse over document requirements at the registration counter:
"I think that that would be a bipartisan way of improving that verification of citizenship with databases, and I think there's some bipartisan support for that. And so that might be a way forward, not necessarily showing documentation of citizenship, but let's improve the driver's license agencies to verify citizenship, and let's improve REAL ID."

Supreme Court clears Trump voter verification system in 6-3 ruling ahead of midterms
The Supreme Court handed the Trump administration a major legal victory Friday, ruling 6-3 that its upgraded federal voter verification system can move forward before November's midterm elections, over the objections of left-wing groups and three liberal justices who warned of voter disenfranchisement.
The six Republican-appointed justices lifted a federal judge's order that had blocked the Department of Homeland Security from using a modified version of its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, known as SAVE, to cross-check voter rolls against federal citizenship records. The ruling, issued on the emergency docket in DHS v. League of Women Voters, No. 26A308, stays the lower court's June 22, 2026 injunction while the case moves through the appeals process.
The decision means state and local election officials can now submit voter data through the SAVE portal to confirm whether registered voters are U.S. citizens. If the system cannot confirm citizenship, the registering agency must contact the individual and request proof before allowing them to register or remain on the rolls.
At least 25 states already scanned 67 million registrations through SAVE
The ruling did not come in a vacuum. The New York Post reported that at least 25 states had already voluntarily used the SAVE system to check voter rolls since April 2025, scanning at least 67 million registrations, mainly in Republican-led states. Several of those states had already canceled voter registrations of individuals flagged by the system.
USCIS Director Joseph Edlow announced upgrades to the SAVE program last year. The modified system works in stages: a state or local agency uploads a voter's first name, last name, date of birth, or full or partial Social Security number to the SAVE portal. The system automatically sends that data to the Social Security Administration, which runs it through its databases and returns the results, including citizenship status, to DHS. The SAVE portal then tells the requesting agency whether the individual is confirmed as a citizen or whether the agency needs to resubmit with more information.
Multiple organizations, including the League of Women Voters, sued to block the upgrades. A federal judge in Washington, D.C. sided with them last year, and the case landed at the Supreme Court after the Trump administration asked the justices to intervene.
Majority: Congress gave DHS the authority, and privacy objections likely fail
The per curiam majority opinion, unsigned, as is typical for emergency-docket rulings, rested on a straightforward reading of federal immigration law. The Court pointed to Section 1373 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act, which bars interference with the disclosure of citizenship status information to DHS. That provision, the majority wrote, operates "[n]otwithstanding any other provision of Federal, State, or local law."
The plaintiffs had argued that other federal statutes, the Social Security Act and the Privacy Act, prohibited the kind of data-sharing the modified SAVE system requires. The majority rejected that argument, reasoning that Section 1373 was designed to override exactly those restrictions. As Breitbart News reported, the Court wrote:
"It is improbable that Congress intended to place officials in such a bind when it passed IIRIRA, so section 1373 likely supersedes restrictions on disclosure elsewhere in the Code."
The Washington Examiner noted that the ruling indicated the left-wing groups' legal challenges likely lacked merit, a signal that the administration holds strong ground as the case proceeds through the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The stay remains in effect while the appeal plays out. If the administration ultimately seeks Supreme Court review and certiorari is denied, the stay dissolves automatically. If the Court takes the case, the stay holds until a final judgment.
Jackson's dissent: even "a few" disenfranchised voters outweigh the government's interest
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote the dissent, joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Jackson framed the case as a clash between election security and voter access, and came down squarely on the side of access.
"In my view, however, the harm caused by burdening or disenfranchising even a few lawful voters outweighs the nonexistent harm that the Government experiences when it is prevented from taking an action that it likely lacks the authority to take."
Jackson called the government's legal arguments "improbable" and said the imbalance between the harms should have compelled the Court to deny the stay.
The dissent's logic reveals a familiar pattern in election-law disputes. Jackson treated the verification system's potential to inconvenience lawful voters as a greater harm than allowing ineligible voters to remain on the rolls, even as federal data suggests the problem is not hypothetical. A DHS assessment cited by Just The News found over 250,000 illegal immigrants registered to vote in California, Nevada, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Accuracy disputes cloud the system's rollout in some jurisdictions
Critics of the SAVE system have pointed to error rates in early use. A Travis County, Texas investigation found that at least 11 out of 97 voters flagged by the system were actually U.S. citizens, a roughly 11 percent false-positive rate. Reuters reported that a Travis County official characterized 25 percent of noncitizen matches as involving people who had already proven their citizenship. In St. Louis County, Missouri, error rates reportedly reached 81 percent.
Those numbers deserve scrutiny, but they also deserve context. The modified SAVE system does not automatically remove anyone from the voter rolls. If the system cannot confirm citizenship, the agency must contact the voter and give them a chance to provide proof. That built-in safeguard is written into the program's design, as the Supreme Court's own opinion described. The question is whether a verification system that flags some citizens for a follow-up letter is worse than a system that does nothing while hundreds of thousands of ineligible registrations persist.
U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who issued the original injunction, took a dimmer view. Reuters quoted her as writing that "the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote." The Supreme Court's majority disagreed, and overruled her.
A second injunction still blocks USPS mail-in ballot verification
Friday's ruling does not resolve every front in the administration's election-security push. A separate preliminary injunction in League of Women Voters of Massachusetts v. Trump continues to block the U.S. Postal Service from implementing new mail-in ballot verification requirements. That case remains active, and the legal fight over mail-in procedures will likely intensify as November approaches.
The Supreme Court also addressed the broader executive order on election security that Trump signed on March 31. The justices determined that the lower court that had blocked the order "lacked jurisdiction to enter the judgment," clearing the way for the Justice Department to pursue prosecutorial efforts related to election integrity.
Taken together, the rulings give the administration most of what it sought heading into the midterms, a functioning citizenship-verification database, restored prosecutorial authority, and a clear signal from the Court's majority that federal immigration law authorizes the data-sharing at the heart of the SAVE program. The mail-in ballot fight remains unresolved.
For voters who are lawful citizens, the system asks only that they confirm what should be easy to prove. For a government responsible for the integrity of its own elections, that is not disenfranchisement, it is the bare minimum.

Treasury Overhaul Sparks Fury in Brussels as America’s Financial Reset Goes Nuclear
Clean-up in Progress
Prolotario@Prolotario1
Treasury Overhaul Sparks Fury in Brussels as America’s Financial Reset Goes NuclearThe architecture of the federal security apparatus is fracturing along lines that predate this administration by decades. What mainstream reporting frames as routine interagency friction is, in actuality, a sustained purge of embedded Directorate of Operations remnants who never relinquished their off-book authorities.
At CIA, the Directorate of Intelligence still houses a cell operating out of the fourth floor of the Original Headquarters Building in Langley, Virginia Room 4C42, internally designated as the “Legacy Continuity Group.” These are career officers who served under John Brennan and Gina Haspel, both of whom maintained parallel reporting chains to private intelligence contractors in Tysons Corner, specifically Sotera Defense Solutions and the now-defunct iSIGHT Partners.
Marco Rubio’s elevation to Acting National Security Advisor on 14 September 2026 was not a staffing convenience. It was a kinetic response to intelligence that this cell was attempting to back-channel threat assessments on Trump’s financial reset to select members of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, bypassing the Office of the Director of National Intelligence entirely. Rubio’s first directive, issued from the Eisenhower Executive Office Building at 11:42 PM that same night, authorized the immediate revocation of SCI access for twelve individuals whose names have not appeared in any FOIA release or court filing.
Among them: Cynthia A. Rapp, former Deputy Director for Analysis; Michael D. Orlando, a Station Chief recalled from Western Europe under disputed circumstances in 2024; and a signals exploitation specialist named Richard H. Ledgett Jr., whose consultancy contract with Booz Allen Hamilton was terminated within hours of Rubio assuming the post. These are not holdovers in the bureaucratic sense. They are operatives who understood that the financial architecture being dismantled was the very mechanism through which off-book covert action funding flowed.
The financial blackout is not theoretical. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, in coordination with the Federal Reserve’s Division of Reserve Bank Operations and Payment Systems, began running offline contingency protocols on 3 October at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond’s Baltimore Branch located at 502 South Sharp Street. This facility, which to external observation appears to be a routine processing center, houses the FedNet backbone that routes interbank settlement data across the Eastern seaboard.
A three-person team embedded within the Treasury Department’s Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection a unit whose existence is acknowledged but whose operations are classified has been running simulated cutover scenarios since 22 July at an offsite facility in Culpeper, Virginia, co-located with the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center at the Packard Campus.
The specific protocol, designated “Sunset Crossing,” involves the graduated isolation of legacy SWIFT message traffic into a segregated enclave while simultaneously activating a parallel ledger system that does not rely on correspondent banking relationships. This is where the CFTC and SEC rule changes become operational. On 19 September, the SEC’s Division of Trading and Markets filed an emergency action sealed from public docket, reference number 3-21877 that authorizes designated clearing organizations to suspend normal settlement cycles for up to 72 hours under a declared “market integrity event.”
The CFTC mirrored this with an interpretive letter, 22-18, that permits derivatives clearing organizations to shift collateral valuation models to a hard asset reference framework. These are not incremental regulatory adjustments. They are the legal scaffolding for a controlled migration of recorded ownership claims into a new architecture where liabilities are extinguished against revalued hard assets.
