- DHS drastically downgrades non-citizen voter claims in Nevada after public allegations — On 16 July, Trump claimed DHS had found approximately 278,000 non-citizens registered to vote across four states. In follow-up letters, DHS softened this to a "ceiling" of potential non-citizens. After meeting with Nevada election officials on 21 August, DHS admitted it had manually confirmed only 185 non-citizens on Nevada's voter rolls—a dramatic reduction from the initially claimed 15,903. DHS acknowledged the larger figure was "preliminary" and lacked full manual review. Nevada's Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar stated the state would not disenfranchise eligible voters without the highest confidence of ineligibility.
