Election Expert Warns of Noncitizens Reaching Voter Rolls
J. Christian Adams said the SAVE database could help clean voter rolls, while California and Washington continue to decline to use it for verification, according to Fox News.
Fox News reported that J. Christian Adams, whom the outlet described as an election expert, has raised concerns about how noncitizens are landing on voter rolls. The outlet's headline said he "sounds alarm" on the issue, according to its Fox News report.
According to Fox News, Adams said the SAVE database could help clean voter rolls. The report's summary does not describe how the database works, what records it contains, or which agency maintains it.
Fox News also reported that California and Washington still refuse to use the database for verification. The summary does not say what reasons, if any, those states have given for declining, and it does not indicate whether either state responded to the report.
The summary does not include figures on how many noncitizens are on voter rolls in any state, and it does not describe specific cases. Beyond the two states named, the summary identifies no other jurisdictions.
The material available for this story contains no statement from officials in California or Washington and no response from any election administrator. The state positions reported here therefore rest solely on the summary's account of Fox News's reporting.
Fox News published its report on October 29, 2026. The source material available for this account lists no author, and this story relies only on the headline and summary of that report.
