    Who Actually Controls Your Voter Registration?

    This is the third installment in a three part series on the SAVE Act. So far we’ve covered the ‘How’ and the ‘What’, this week we look at the ‘Why’. Why does the Trump administration want this bill so badly? And why are they so determined to create a national list of eligible voters? We already ran this experiment before in Kansas and Arizona, and the results were…illuminating. This week: the SAVE System’s error rate, the executive order already doing part of this without Congress, DOJ lawsuits against 30 states and D.C. for voter roll access, and why centralizing control over who can vote is a bad idea no matter who’s in the White House.

    How Rare is Noncitizen Voting, Really?

    The Department of Homeland Security says a quarter million noncitizens are registered to vote. Every time someone’s asked DHS to show their work, that number has gotten smaller. This week is Part 2 in our series on the SAVE Act. Last week we covered what’s actually in the bill. This week: does the problem it claims to solve actually exist? We trace the claim back to where it started, and look at what happens when actual researchers — left, right, and everywhere in between — check the data themselves. Full sourcing and the complete breakdown are in last week’s newsletter — there’s more here than fits in a podcast. Link below, or head to GetClear.FM Next week: Part 3 — why the administration wants this bill so badly, and what else is happening around elections that ties into it. 🎧 Part 1: https://youtu.be/rnqLJuS7CNM 🔗 Newsletter: https://www.clearreception.tv/2026/09/01/how-rare-is-noncitizen-voting-really/ 📩 Subscribe: GetClear.FM
