Commentators and later NYT reporting pointed out states can only use SAVE in a limited way for now, and a federal 90-day 'quiet period' before elections likely restricts immediate rollout before the midterms.

This is a big deal and it will affect eligible voters! The Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to allow the Trump administration to resume using its expanded SAVE database to check voter rolls, reversing lower-court orders that had blocked it over privacy and accuracy concerns.

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…

All this thread does is indicate that there is no correct starting point for Democrats by which American voters will dare allow them to remain in power beyond the 2028 election.

Kate has good details here about the corrupt Court's latest outrageous decision. But also what it does and what it doesn't. states can only use this in a pretty limited way for the next 90 days.

The Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for states to use the federal government’s overhauled immigration database to purge noncitizens from voter rolls ahead of the midterms. The unsigned decision sided with the Department of Homeland Security, which sought to revive the modified system — which contained Social Security information and other…

Who is the editor on this article? Why would they expect the reader to know what the SAVE database is and what its original purpose was for?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systematic_Alien_Verification_...> Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) is a program managed by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), a…

There should be a massive aid package targeted at those who didn't vote for Trump. Call it the Socialist aid for American Act and let states reject it or accept it.

Important, if you missed this. "The impact of the ruling is limited for the midterm elections because federal law prohibits election officials from mass purges of their voter rolls this close to an election." But THIS is enough: "That means the database can be used only for inquiries about individual voters." USA Today: Supreme Court allows…

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…

> 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…

The Supreme Court on Friday let the Trump administration use its newly expanded system to verify people’s citizenship status, which the dissenters argue both violates privacy laws and risks disenfranchising voters before the midterms.

Many of the problems with Trump's # SAVE 2.0 & the Right-wing Majority's opinion suddenly allowing it, like already disenfranchising citizens in several States, are pointed out by the Minority's signed disent. The chaos fuel Majority opinion is unsigned. Both predict minimal impact on midterms, primarily because of laws restricting voter roll…

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…

Yes it does if the data is a lie/manipulated by the feds, you're exporting decision making then to the feds

This is a dangerous decision! It gives him a look into state voting records in the pretense that it’s to control fraudulent voting! Parts are fraudulent, that his intent is a pretense to federal oversight!

Today, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the Trump administration to use a controversial government program in its aggressive search for alleged voter fraud, increasing the likelihood that eligible voters will be wrongly labeled as noncitizens due to faulty data and removed from the rolls.

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…
