SCOTUS Lets Trump Administration Use Revamped Federal Voter Eligibility Database for Now

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) on Friday lifted restrictions on a controversial federal voter database before November's elections, granting President Donald Trump a temporary win in his aggressive campaign against noncitizen voting.

The emergency order allows states to use a Homeland Security program to verify the eligibility of voters on their rolls. The program has drawn scrutiny for its use of sensitive personal data and its tendency to wrongly flag some eligible voters as noncitizens.

However, states' use of the SAVE program is voluntary, limiting the ruling’s impact on the midterm elections.
