VINCE · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. The Federal Register and White House texts of Executive Order 14399 direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to compile and transmit a list of individuals confirmed to be U.S. citizens, above 18 at an upcoming federal election, who maintain a residence in the state.[1][2]
Supports. A court filing quotes Section 2(a) of the order, describing the 'State Citizenship List' as a list of individuals confirmed to be U.S. citizens over 18 with state residence, to be compiled and transmitted by DHS.[3]
Context. The order is conditioned on 'to the extent feasible and consistent with applicable law, including the Privacy Act of 1974,' a qualifier the extracted claim omits but that does not reverse the directive.[1][2]
