Supreme Court Allows Expanded Use of Voter Citizenship Database Ahead of 2026 Midterms
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 to allow the Trump administration to use an expanded federal database, known as SAVE, to help states verify voter citizenship ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The ruling reverses lower court blocks and permits states to access additional federal information, including Social Security data, for individualized voter checks. However, the court emphasized restrictions on broad voter-roll purges close to elections. Critics warn of privacy concerns and potential misidentification of eligible voters, while supporters argue it aids election integrity.
