The Department of Homeland Security's investigative arm has requested voter registration files from election officials in Texas and North Carolina. This request comes as part of an investigation into potential electoral fraud, which has been a topic of discussion since Donald Trump's 2016 campaign. In Texas, an email from a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent requested the voting records of seven specific voters from Webb County. In North Carolina, an ICE legal adviser sought information on two voters registered in Forsyth County. The requests were made without detailed explanations of their necessity. A DHS spokesperson confirmed that HSI is actively investigating electoral fraud but did not comment on specific inquiries. The organization Democracy Forward has expressed concern over the use of law enforcement resources for obtaining voter information.
