State Department evaluates sharing passport records for voter citizenship verification

The State Department is considering granting access to federal passport records to state and local officials for verifying voters' citizenship status ahead of the midterm elections. This initiative aims to ensure that registered voters are U.S. citizens while protecting personal data. The Justice Department disclosed this plan in a recent court filing, with a notice expected to be published in the Federal Register soon.
