Axios:

The Trump administration has a new tactic for trying to isolate cases of alleged voter fraud — digging into the IP addresses of those who went online to register to vote.

• The FBI recently obtained the IP address of someone who registered online in South Carolina, according to documents first shared with Axios.

Why it matters: The bureau’s request for the address, which state and local officials complied with, offers a glimpse of how federal authorities are stepping up their probe of voter rolls and registration practices under pressure from President Trump…

What they’re saying: “It is not common” to get this kind of request, York County (S.C.) election official Alan Helms told Axios. “In my tenure as an election official, going on 20 years, that is the first interaction with law enforcement.”

• Helms said his office complied with the request, as is permitted under the law.
