According to a protected disclosure filed with the Office of Special Counsel, Borges told the Government Accountability Project that DOGE officials working at Social Security created a “live copy” of the country’s Social Security records in a separate cloud environment that sidestepped usual security checks.

The group says those lapses put the Social Security information of more than 300 million Americans at risk.

Like most things the GOP says, they're lying or exaggerating.

You need to show proof of identity/citizenship to register to vote. As one piece of this process, you may choose to use your SS card. You must vote at your local polling place (or by mail). You can not travel to some other city to vote.

Organized vote fraud would be hard to do and hard to hide. The only cases were MAGA people trying to "balance out the vote fraud" from the other guys. And they were caught.
