New York: A last-ditch Trump administration effort to hunt for noncitizen voters ahead of November's elections is requiring federal employees to misrepresent themselves on voter lookup tools in a way that likely violates state laws, according to a federal whistleblower's statement released Monday.
The Department of Homeland Security probe known as the "Unlawful Voter Initiative" also asks employees to create federal law enforcement records about voters based on unreliable data, the account warns. That could potentially wrongly implicate U.S. citizens in official documentation that could spur further investigation.
