The New York Times and other outlets noted that a federal law requiring a 90-day 'quiet period' before elections likely restricts how much states can act on the ruling before the midterms.
“states can only use this in a pretty limited way for the next 90 days.”

🚨The Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to use a deeply flawed database of Americans’ personal information to initiate registration purges. Have questions? Marc Elias has answers. Here’s what this decision means for YOUR vote ⬇️

My human summarization of the decision:- SAVE was a database established in 1986 to determine if immigrants were eligible for federal benefits- Starting in 2005, some states used it to check their voter registrations- By executive order, the administration merged it with the SSN database to make bulk searches easier- Organizations sued, and a…

Who do you think is going to stop them? Oh, no, it happened, but the results are in, midterms are solidly red due to purges, what do you think stops them? After all congress people are sworn in I was wondering whether Congress could just refuse to seat newly-elected representatives, like that BS where Mike Johnson refused to swear in people for…

Shoot, I only checked for the Common Dreams article, so there are already two threads about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1wq0xv3/supreme_court_allows_trump_administration_to_use/ https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1wpzyw5/supreme_court_revives_dhs_use_of_flawed/ Since it is a different article I guess I'll leave it up.

Given their highest judicial responsibility, the six MAGA supreme court justices led by Roberts are without a doubt the most traitorous villains in American history!

The illegitimate Supreme Court enables Republicans to steal elections...again. But our # BrokenTimes still thinks we're only 3-10ths of the way to electoral authoritarianism. We're fucked.

In my life I have known dozens (maybe hundreds?) of so-called illegal aliens. They all tell the same story: they came to the US to earn money to support their families. I have NEVER heard someone tell me they came to the US to vote, or they intend to vote, or they even know what voting is. So, this idea that millions of illegals are voting just…

There is no data showing that illegal immigrants are voting in numbers that come close to changing the outcome of an election, if at all. Are we even tracking that yet on a national level? Seriously, without cross-referencing the immigration databases that Trump is trying to use, how would we ever know if it was happening to begin with?

"The decision Friday marks a significant loss to voters — particularly naturalized citizens, who have been disproportionately falsely flagged as ineligible voters when states have fed their registration lists into SAVE." https://www. democracydocket.com/news-alert s/supreme-court-revives-dhs-use-of-flawed-immigration-database-for-voter-purges/

> But realistically, the states interested in doing this don't have enough time before midterms to do this - as they would have to then process all of the proof-of-citizenship documentation or open themselves up to mass lawsuitsExcept we've seen this before. States purge roles, judge orders them to restore it, oopsie we can't do that before an…

Correct - it needs to be citizens that want to uphold the constitution and bill of rights and what has been going on before 2016. Also, reform a lot of politicians actions and need to be transparent
-
That's the plan, wait until there is no time to ensure we remain registered to vote. Then we lose our right to vote, just as envisioned.

Supreme Court shows SAVE has wrongly flagged U.S. citizens. This database was created to verify immigration status for gov benefits—not to purge voter rolls. Now they’re repurposing it for despite errors. By the way by law cannot use within 90 days of election
-
Yea but those mass lawsuits won't happen or matter until after midterms at this point, so even if they did illegal stuff in the end the votes will have been suppressed successfully. In a war, if you do a war crime, the dead are still dead even if the person who committed the war crime is accountable later. In politics, if they do a criminal act…

Every "concern" raised by the Trump administration is cover for voter disenfranchisement. Period.Voter fraud is incredibly rare, but I have a gut feeling that electoral fraud has happened and will continue to get worse, courtesy of the same administration.It must be remembered that every accusation from them is a confession.For the acolytes that…
