Trump Administration's Voter Eligibility Checks Spark 'Purge' Fears.
The Trump administration's program to check voter eligibility nationally is drawing criticism from those who fear it could lead to a 'purge' of voters, particularly ahead of midterms.
The scanning of state voter rolls at the national level is part of a broader effort by Republican President Donald Trump to federalise certain election functions and promote his messaging that elections are marred by noncitizen voting, even though instances of that are rare.
