US Supreme Court Permits Expansive Voter Citizenship Screening Ahead of Midterms
The US Supreme Court has permitted the Trump administration to implement an expansive voter citizenship screening tool, including the use of the federal SAVE database, ahead of the November midterm elections. This decision, confirmed by multiple high-confidence sources, reverses lower court restrictions and marks a significant shift in election administration policy. While the administration claims the tool targets non-citizen voting, critics warn of potential disenfranchisement of eligible voters due to erroneous flagging.
