US Appeals Court Upholds Ban on Trump Administration's Use of Citizenship Data for Voter Verification
A US federal appeals court upheld a lower court's ban on the Trump administration's use of the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database to verify citizenship on state voter rolls ahead of the November midterm elections. Judges cited concerns over sharing private citizen information and potential errors that could disenfranchise eligible voters. The ruling was 2-1, with a dissenting judge appointed by President Trump opposing the decision.
