Texas wants access to immigration database to check voter rolls for noncitizens

First request in 2007 For months, the Obama administration resisted granting Florida access to the DHS database, but relented after a judge ruled in the state's favor on a separate issue related to its efforts to purge noncitizens from its voting rolls. [...] election leaders in nearly a dozen states have expressed interest in gaining access to the DHS database. [...] opponents of the move argue that the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements Program, also known as "SAVE," was intended for use by government agencies verifying the immigration status of applicants for benefits and licenses - not to purge voter rolls.
