Two hundred seven were flagged as potential non-citizens and sent to county prosecutors. The Recorders office pushed for a standalone account, leading to the shutdown of an older account. Secretary of State Adrian Fontes advises against using SAVE for large-scale screenings due to potential errors. At least one hundred thirty-seven flagged voters had cast ballots, and the rest are still under investigation. Fontes believes the system is solid and effectively catches rare issues without overreach, emphasizing the ongoing debate over election integrity and citizenship checks.
