The Trump administration has tapped the Department of Government Efficiency to review states’ practices to maintain their voter databases, part of a new move by the White House to strictly enforce the ban on non-citizens voting in federal elections.
The new White House memo authorized DOGE and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to issue subpoenas, presumably to access the states’ maintenance systems.
Colorado officials are calling the memo an “unlawful” order that would “undermine” American democracy.
