DHS, USCIS and DOGE announced an overhaul of the SAVE citizenship-verification database on April 22, 2025, which sources describe as a tool to check voter eligibility and voter rolls. The claim's April 2025 date and DOGE's role are supported, though the sources tie the project to voter rolls only through the announcement's 'voting illegally' framing and later SAVE use.

Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. DHS's official page reports that DHS, USCIS and DOGE announced a comprehensive optimization of the SAVE database to ensure a single, reliable source for verifying non-citizen status nationwide.[2]
Supports. The announcement, dated April 22, 2025, said automatic status updates would help agencies prevent non-citizens from 'exploiting taxpayer benefits or voting illegally,' tying the project to voter eligibility.[4][5]
Supports. Snopes notes that DOGE's administrator was involved in coordinating with DHS to review state voter rolls under a March 2025 executive order, and DOGE's own account describes SAVE-based voter list maintenance.[1][3]
Context. The post's 'this' refers to the DOGE-announced voter-citizenship effort; the extracted wording 'a project regarding voter rolls' is a faithful reading of that context, and the sources do not contradict the date.[5]
