Texas election chief raised concerns about the federal tool used to flag potential noncitizens

Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson expressed serious concerns about the accuracy of the federal SAVE program, which is supposed to flag potential noncitizens. In a letter to federal officials in April, she highlighted instances where the program mistakenly identified U.S. citizens as potential noncitizens, raising significant issues about voter integrity. This oversight could have serious implications for voter suppression and highlights the need for more precise data management in crucial election tools. Her concerns underscore the broader challenges in ensuring fair and accurate voting processes.
