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.

The anonymous, nearly 30-page disclosure was published Monday by Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York and Democratic Sen. Alex Padilla of California, the ranking member of a Senate committee overseeing federal elections.

We're supposed to believe that non citizens are voting?
Neither party has much success getting citizens to vote. 🤯

    The end goal for sure although I am not sure they can get away with it yet. You never know though, if you cheat hard and fast enough maybe you can permanently evade electoral consequences. But that's what non-electoral consequences are for. I hope the American people will be ready for that.
