Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration to Use Database to Verify Voter Citizenship
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Supreme Court has authorized the Trump administration to expand a federal database containing citizenship information while urging states to remove certain voters from electoral rolls. The justices voted 6-3, with conservatives in the majority, granting an emergency request from the government after lower courts deemed the changes likely illegal. Critics argue the data is unreliable and could disenfranchise U.S. citizens. However, the court noted that the National Voter Registration Act prohibits mass purging of voter rolls close to elections, limiting the decision's impact. States can still conduct individual inquiries about voters.
