Page 15 of the GOP’s Save America Act wld force all 50 states to submit their voter rolls to the DHS’s centralized voter purge program (called “SAVE”), which they know has had error rates as high as 14% & links to an SSA database that they know was compromised by DOGE. #NoOnSave 1/Image
2/ Link to the latest version of the Save America Act.
3/ The SAVE system had at least a 14% error rate in one Texas county, as reported here. texastribune.org/2026/02/13/sav…
4/ Image
5/ The “SAVE” system at the heart of the GOP’s Save America Act was “expanded” by DOGE & the DHS to “check the citizenship status of all U.S. citizens w/o providing info on how this was accomplished or the accuracy of the resulting tools. Early reports suggest an error rate as high as 17%” 8/2025 protectdemocracy.org/wp-content/upl…Image
Image
6/ DHS & DOGE recently announced a dramatic overhaul of the SAVE program. “Sweeping changes…allow user agencies to search SAVE using just social security #s, names, and [DOB]…DHS & the [SSA] have given the SAVE program access to info…in the administration’s central social security number database.” brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…Image
Image
7/ Whistleblower alleges that an SSA “database called the Numident, which is the master database of ur personal info, was uploaded to an AWS cloud environment.” [Numident’s data is now allegedly linked to the Save System to facilitate voter purges. This is a centerpiece of the Save America Act] pbs.org/newshour/show/…Image
8/ DHS & SSA have allegedly “‘reengineered’ SAVE into an instrument for mass voter‑eligibility checks. Their complaint alleges that…data from multiple federal databases—including SSA’s vast NUMIDENT file—has been repurposed to enable states to upload entire voter‑registration lists for…screening.” litigationconferences.com/organizations-…Image
11/ A more direct link for the bill language in post 1. Page 15, Section 4(B) is new. congress.gov/119/bills/s138…Image
12/ “DOGE Put Critical Social Security Data at Risk, Whistle-Blower [Charles Borges] Says *** DOGE team members uploaded a database with the personal information of hundreds of millions of Americans to a vulnerable cloud server, according to the agency’s chief data officer.”
8/26/25 nytimes.com/2025/08/26/us/…
13/ You can read Charles’ Borges’s full SSA whistleblower disclosure here. whistleblower.org/wp-content/upl…Image
14/ Note the reference to “write access” (ie, editing access) to certain SSA databases in the Borges disclosure. I don’t know if these specific databases link to SAVE or not. whistleblower.org/wp-content/upl…Image
15/ The agency denied some or all of Borges’s claim and he was forced to “involuntarily resign”. But… cnn.com/2026/01/20/pol…Image
16/ But the DOJ recently admitted in a court filing that “a Department of Government Efficiency employee shared Social Security data without agency officials’ knowledge and in violation of security protocols..” Oops. 🥵 larson.house.gov/media-center/i…

Here’s the complaint in the lawsuit still pending against DOGE & SSA: “Never before has a group of unelected, unappointed, & unvetted individuals—misleadingly & conflictingly described as White House employees, employees of agencies (multiple & many), & undefined ‘advisors’—-sought or gained access to such sensitive
information from agencies across the Executive Branch.” 1/Image
3/ It’s in this case that the Trump administration recently made the following admission (contradicting initial denials) about DOGE’s mishandling of SSA’s data. x.com/jennycohn1/sta… x.com/jennycohn1/sta…

The SAVE America Act wld compel every state to submit their voter rolls to the DHS for purposes of running this data through DHS’s “SAVE” voter purge program, which was created in “partnership” w/ the SSA—whose data was mishandled by DOGE, as the DOJ now admits. #NoOnSAVE 1/ Image

2/ Link to the bill. See page 15: congress.gov/119/bills/s138…Image

The DOJ has asked states to agree to sign a secret agreement “in connection w/ handing over their full voter files.” The agreement says that “the DOJ will ‘test, analyze, & assess states’ [voter rolls]’ & send each participating state a list of voters who must be removed within 45 days.” 2/5/26 1/Image

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/ Image
You can read the Trump-backed “Save America Act” for yourself here. This bill expands upon the original so-called “SAVE Act”. 2/ congress.gov/119/bills/hr72…
3/ Here’s a link to the Brennan Center’s July 2025 report warning about the problems with both the SAVE System and the Social Security Number database when used to purge voters from the voter rolls, as would occur under the “Save America Act”. Everyone should read it. brennancenter.org/our-work/resea…

The SAVE America Act’s list of approved citizenship documentation is at the top. Marriage certificates are *not* included, effectively disenfranchising many of the 69M women whose last names don’t match their birth certificates (not an issue for those who buy expensive passports or have “Enhanced Drivers Licenses” that do match) 1/Image
