Big Time: The DHS spent it changing voter privacy protocols
Or maybe you feel safer. In either case, without fanfare (or advance notice) the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spent the holiday formalizing a change to the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database (originally designed to check immigration status of noncitizens), to vastly expand of who it can check on and what data can be entered, searched and shared. The big change is adding voter information so the Trump Administration can more easily purge voter records.
