Original Sources for this Claim (2)
All source submissions that originally contained this claim.
The Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump administration can use an expansive online system combining citizenship and Social Security data to identify ineligible voters. Critics fear this could lead to the purging of valid voters, especially recently naturalized citizens, from state rolls ahead of the midterm elections.
The Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to use a federal immigration database (SAVE) for voter purges, overturning a lower court's injunction. Critics argue the system is flawed, disproportionately flagging naturalized citizens, and violates privacy laws.
