Trump Asks Supreme Court to Allow Use of SAVE Database for Voter Verification
- The Trump administration is requesting the Supreme Court to permit the use of the SAVE database to check voter citizenship ahead of the midterm elections.
- A federal judge ruled that the SAVE system unlawfully compromised Americans' privacy and led to wrongful voter roll removals.
- Solicitor General D. John Sauer argues that the ruling threatens election integrity and claims the voting rights groups lacked standing to sue.
- The SAVE system was modified to include records of natural-born citizens and allow bulk searches, following an executive order from President Trump.
