The lack of transparency regarding how these tools operate and who is being targeted prevents meaningful oversight. Without clear accountability, these systems can be used to target specific groups for political gain.

The data used in these systems is notoriously unreliable and often fails to account for naturalized citizens or updated immigration statuses. Relying on flawed data leads to systemic errors that disproportionately affect minority communities.

The federal government has a clear constitutional and statutory mandate to enforce immigration laws and protect the integrity of federal elections. Using existing federal data to verify voter eligibility is a lawful exercise of this authority.

Automated verification tools are the only practical way to manage the massive scale of modern voter rolls. Manual verification is too slow and resource-intensive to be effective in the weeks leading up to an election.

The use of error-prone databases to purge voters creates an unacceptable risk of disenfranchising eligible citizens. When legitimate voters are wrongly removed, their fundamental right to participate in democracy is violated.

It is fundamentally unfair to legal voters for their influence to be diluted by the participation of non-citizens. Rigorous verification ensures that the electoral process remains exclusive to those with the legal right to vote.

Federal law prohibits systematic voter list maintenance within 90 days of a federal election to prevent last-minute disenfranchisement. These programs often bypass these protections, undermining the National Voter Registration Act.

Securing the voter rolls against foreign or unauthorized influence is a matter of national security. Federal databases provide the most accurate information available to prevent unauthorized access to the ballot box.

Ensuring that only eligible citizens cast ballots is essential for maintaining public trust in the democratic process. By utilizing federal databases to identify non-citizens, the government provides a necessary safeguard against potential voter fraud.

Consolidating sensitive personal information from across federal agencies into a centralized database for voter verification violates the Privacy Act of 1974. Citizens should not have their private data used in this manner without consent.
