CEIR, alongside partner organizations, #electionofficials, and experts urged #SCOTUS this week to block President Trump's executive order on voter citizenship verification and #mailvoting from taking effect.

President Trump has claimed his administration found more than 250,000 noncitizens on voter rolls, but the process for arriving at that alleged number remains very unclear. CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social spoke to NPR about the claims: https://loom.ly/jlrS8EA

CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social spoke with @npr.org about Trump's claims of noncitizen voting and the administration's inability to produce any evidence to substantiate them. Read more: https://loom.ly/1UQlDGw

Noncitizen registration and voting are hot topics in the news, but the data shows that the scale of this problem remains minimal. CEIR has launched a comprehensive state-by-state tracker that documents the public allegations and investigations. Read more: https://loom.ly/FKLpoXc

CEIR's published a review of states' active voter registration rates in 2024. One key finding? The nationwide average of state active registration rates was 85% in 2024, suggesting current list maintenance practices have proven effective. Read the full #research report: https://loom.ly/MmA-3W0

Watch @beckerdavidj.bsky.social explain why states, including New Jersey, remain best suited to fix #voterregistration issues when they arise because of their strong and comprehensive #voterdata. "They've actually got better data than the federal government."

CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social spoke with USA Today's @bychrisbrennan.bsky.social about President Trump's baseless #election claims. "He has no clue about any of this stuff." Read the article here: https://loom.ly/Qx3mlOk

CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social discussed the latest federal #election threats with The Guardian's @samrlevine.bsky.social. "This has nothing to do with actually cleaning up the lists." Read more: https://loom.ly/vbG3gGc

What do we know about the #NewJersey voter registration situation? While the error shouldn't have occurred, the number of affected registrations is still proportionately miniscule, @beckerdavidj.bsky.social told NPR. Listen here: https://loom.ly/8hb-hYY

New Jersey officials have disclosed that a DMV software error resulted in the wrongful voter registrations of roughly 6,600 residents. CEIR Executive Director David Becker (@beckerdavidj.bsky.social) issued a statement on the matter. electioninnovation.org/press/ceir-r...

President Trump raised concerns last week about China having access to voter files. CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social explained to CBS News that these files are readily available, and Americans shouldn't be concerned about China accessing them.

Despite some outlandish numbers President Trump cited in his speech on Thursday, noncitizen #voter #registration is not a widespread issue. @beckerdavidj.bsky.social breaks down the numbers and why we should take a closer look at them.

Last night, President Trump gave a primetime address attacking our election system, even as our elections are more secure now than ever. CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social joined CBS News to discuss the speech.

Join us on Monday, when @beckerdavidj.bsky.social will discuss Trump's baseless claims about widespread #election fraud in a virtual webinar. Our elections remain secure, no matter what the president says. Register here: https://loom.ly/RpNixVU

What does President Trump firing members of the US Election Assistance Commission (EAC) mean for the midterms? Ultimately, not much, as @beckerdavidj.bsky.social explained on CNN. The EAC has limited power over US elections.

CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social joined NPR's 1A this week to discuss the latest attacks on elections. We shouldn't fear these threats — but recognize that they are a sign of increasing desperation. Listen here: https://loom.ly/puWr88A

The DOJ just lost its 13th straight case (against zero wins) in WV, in its attempt to seize sensitive voter data (DL, SSN, DOB) from the states. Of the 13 cases, 7 were decided by R judges, and FIVE of those were Trump appointees. This is an unprecedented record of defeat for the DOJ.

JUST IN: 13th straight rejection of DOJ's legal effort to compel states to turn over their voter rolls. George W. Bush-appointed Judge Thomas Johnston wonders what DOJ is really driving at. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

🧵 Yesterday, the President fired the remaining 3 (of 4) commissioners on the independent, bipartisan Election Assistance Commission. While this is another troubling attempt to expand powers beyond that the constitution may grant, it actually will have very little, if any, impact on the election. /1

DHS has threatened to pull anti-terrorism grants if states do not change their election policies. As @beckerdavidj.bsky.social told the New York Times, these "radical changes" would imperil election security and will likely fail in court. https://loom.ly/SsjM_A4

The DOJ letters threatening election officials with criminal prosecution if they count ballots cast by noncitizens appear to be a desperate, "last-ditch attempt” to pressure them, @beckerdavidj.bsky.social told Votebeat. "It's just sad." https://loom.ly/VNsBUiI

The DOJ has sent letters to top election officials threatening criminal prosecution if ballots cast by noncitizens are counted in upcoming elections. CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social spoke to the New York Times about the letters, describing them as a sign of "panic and desperation" from the DOJ.

“This is what panic and desperation looks like. They’ve had 18 months to find evidence of a crime that was never committed, and found nothing. The election officials I’ve spoken with aren’t intimidated, and are seeing these empty threats for what they are.” www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/u...

How are election officials reacting to SCOTUS' ruling in Watson v. RNC? "I've talked to many election officials on both sides of the aisle. They're relieved," CEIR's @beckerdavidj.bsky.social said yesterday.

In a 5-4 ruling, SCOTUS reaffirmed states' ability to accept mail ballots up to five days after Election Day. @beckerdavidj.bsky.social said the ruling "upheld the rights of the states to regulate and run their own elections, consistent with the Constitution."

In a 5-4 ruling, SCOTUS upholds the rights of states to choose to receive mail ballots legally voted on or before Election Day if they are delivered by the USPS a few days later. Nothing in federal law prevents states from choosing to do so. Opinion by Barrett.

Yesterday, a federal judge in MA ruled against Trump's EO on mail voting, declaring key provisions unconstitutional. States are the only ones empowered to determine voter eligibility — not the federal government. Read more about the ruling: https://loom.ly/MxUvXW8

MA court blocks the key provisions of Trump's 2nd EO, which sought to prevent USPS from delivering mail ballots to anyone not pre-cleared through DHS databases. "The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
