NEW: An investigation by Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell found 52 of 60 potential noncitizens flagged by a error-prone federal system known as SAVE are actually citizens. Last week, SCOTUS said President Donald Trump's administration can use the tool. Read: www.votebeat.org/arizona/2026...

52 out of 60 voters flagged as noncitizens in key Arizona county turn out to be citizens
Maricopa County’s GOP recorder said he had found 60 noncitizens who had cast a ballot. Upon closer investigation, though, the real number is only eight.

yes. stalking is the low-hanging fruit. pattern of life & location data is worth its weight in gold, whether the criminals are the cops themselves or extremely interested parties. any tool that can help solve crimes can facilitate committing them (gangs identify undercover cops w facial recognition)

Every chatbot prompt box says "check answers for accuracy." But increasingly, "humans in the loop" refuse to do that. Instead, they become complicit in the AI industry's project of destroying the provenance of information. But you are person, and it is an app. It can't take responsibility for you.
