States have run more than 33 million voters through the Trump administration’s recently updated SAVE data system, which is designed to check citizenship status. We discuss how states are using the system and why some are steering clear of it.

This episode: White House correspondent Tamara Keith, power and influence reporter Jude Joffe-Block, and voting correspondent Miles Parks.

This podcast was produced by Casey Morell & Bria Suggs, and edited by Rachel Baye. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
