Supreme Court Clears States to Use SAVE Database for Voter Checks.
Nevada officials say all 185 voters DHS identified as confirmed noncitizens are actually U.S. citizens, according to a New York Times report published Thursday.
- 15,903 noncitizen registrants in Nevada was Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's July claim.
- 270,000 noncitizens on voter rolls across Nevada, California, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania was the broader administration allegation.
- 185 names were flagged after DHS said it had manually reviewed some of the original list.
- Roughly 6,000 voter case numbers were provided without names, birth dates, or addresses.
Why it matters: Nevada Deputy Attorney General Greg D. Ott wrote in a letter to DHS: 'You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise.' Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar said DHS 'has still not provided evidence' to support its claims.
- DHS official Kimberley Vogt acknowledged the original 15,903-name list had not undergone a complete manual review.
- Nevada says DHS never provided a full list of the 15,903 flagged individuals.
How 84 sources split on this story
Where they split: DHS says Nevada's characterization is false, calling the 185 names only a subset of its broader manual review; Nevada says those 185 are all citizens and the larger list was never delivered.
Center coverage, 24 sources: The center presents the dispute as a factual standoff between state and federal records, detailing the procedural back-and-forth without characterizing the administration's overall posture.
Left coverage, 25 sources: The left frames the episode as an embarrassing collapse of the administration's voter fraud case, highlighting Mullin's earlier threats of prison time for election officials and the zero-for-185 outcome.
What’s next: Nevada says it cannot verify DHS claims without names, birth dates, and addresses.
- DHS has not indicated when or whether it will supply the full supporting data.
- What methodology did DHS use to flag the original 15,903 names, and will it release that documentation?
- Will DHS conduct a complete manual review of its list before taking further action against Nevada officials?
