## Resource

The Trump administration is ramping up pressure on election officials nationwide, warning that noncitizen voting could lead to criminal charges — but experts say such cases are rare. In Idaho, top election official Phil McGrane is resisting Justice Department demands for sensitive voter data, including partial SSNs and driver’s license numbers, citing privacy and legal concerns. The DOJ’s lawsuit is on hold as higher courts review similar cases from Oregon and California. Despite the federal push, no prosecutions for noncitizen voting have occurred in Idaho — and legal scholars argue many ineligible votes are likely errors, not fraud, suggesting a need for smarter, less invasive solutions.
