Voting data is public by design, but ICE is looking for a federal contractor to help it handle voter registration and history files to find what it describes as fraud.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is looking for a federal contractor to provide it with access to the country’s voter registration and voter history data, according to newly released procurement records reviewed by 404 Media.
The procurement records say ICE is seeking the data to help detect fraud. But given the administration’s habit of using fraud as a pretense for large immigration enforcement actions, and President Trump’s constant comments about election security in the lead up to the midterms, the planned hiring of a contractor to handle voter data raises questions around what exactly ICE plans to do with the data.
