DHS voter probe may break state laws and wrongly implicate US citizens, whistleblower alleges

NEW YORK (AP) — 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 president later told CBS News Texas that he did not think Congress would need to authorize the payments, though he did not ...
