Trump administration to inspect South Dakota voter registration records
Secretary of State Monae Johnson signs agreement with DOJ on same day Democrats threaten lawsuit
South Dakota Secretary of State Monae Johnson has agreed to turn over the state’s voter rolls to the Trump administration as part of its efforts to compare voter registrations with immigration records.
The Trump administration and the Department of Justice plan to flag voters who potentially are not eligible to cast ballots in federal elections because of their immigration status. The administration bills its move an election integrity issue.
Johnson signed a memorandum of understanding with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Friday to share voter information.
