🔴JUST IN: Trump Administration Moves to Open Passport Records for State Voter Citizenship Checks
President Trump’s administration is pushing the State Department to let state and local officials use passport records to verify whether people on voter rolls are U.S. citizens. The plan would add “voter eligibility” to the approved routine uses of the Passport Services Records system, which contains detailed identity and citizenship data. The change builds on Trump’s earlier executive order directing federal agencies to share citizenship information with states for election integrity. Officials described the step as another tool for list maintenance, though it still faces the usual notice and comment process and is not expected to take effect before the November midterms.
