The post says 'they' (the federal government effort it was describing, not 'some groups') may be using AI programs to sift voter rolls, so the extracted claim departs from the passage and is not graded as the poster's claim.
The guest relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

Deadline: White House · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. The passage's 'they' refers to the federal government's voter-fraud effort, while the extracted claim says 'some groups', a different referent that the post did not make.
Context. A Democracy Docket article from June 2026 reports that activist Rick Richards pitched ELLY, a voter-roll cross-referencing tool, to Georgia's election board; it does not describe AI use or say groups are currently using such programs.[2]
Context. A Transparency Cascade report (October 2026) describes DHS/HSI voter-data datasets and leads systems, but it is not a Democracy Docket report and does not mention AI sifting of voter rolls.[3]
Context. No provided source shows Democracy Docket reporting that groups may be using AI programs to sift through voter rolls as of 2026-10-22.[1][2]
