Supreme Court Allows Trump Administration to Use Expanded Database to Verify Voter Citizenship
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to expand a federal database containing citizenship information, as the president urges states to remove certain voters from electoral rolls. In a 6-3 decision, the conservative majority granted an emergency request after lower courts ruled the changes were 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 purges close to elections, limiting the decision's immediate impact. States can still conduct individual voter inquiries. The SAVE program, originally created in 1986, was expanded by Trump to ensure only U.S. citizens vote.
