  • Widespread Errors: An expanded federal tool for identifying noncitizens on voter rolls is making persistent mistakes, particularly in assessing citizenship for people born outside the U.S.
  • Banned From Voting: In Missouri, state officials told local clerks to temporarily ban flagged voters from casting ballots, even though hundreds turned out to be citizens.
  • Texas Confusion: As errors emerged in SAVE data, local clerks said the state hadn’t provided them with clear guidance and worried about disenfranchising eligible citizens.

What do you mean by spending boycott, if your thinking about the corporations that are enabling this administration I can agree on sentiment but not on effectiveness, the involved corporations are already propped up by nonexistent money, removing the real money won't have any noticeable effects other than accelerating the economic collapse, which I will grant you is not necessarily a bad play, but it is not quite as cut and dry.

If you are talking about tax evasion, I would highly doubt that that would end well, especially with the propaganda machine in full swing
