Wyden warns Social Security chief: Trump’s voter database is ‘blatant voter suppression’

Sen. Ron Wyden warned the Social Security Administration against participating in a Trump administration executive order to compile state voter lists using SSA, DHS, and immigration data, arguing that such use would misuse Social Security records, risk disenfranchising eligible voters, and likely violate privacy laws; he requested assurances about data safeguards, consent, and legal authority before any agency cooperation.
