Appeals Court Rejects Trump-Vance Administration's Attempt to Reinstate Voter Purge Database

A federal appeals court has rejected the Trump-Vance administration's request to pause a lower court ruling that blocked the expansion of the Systematic Alien Verification Entitlements (SAVE) database. The ruling prevents the government from using the system for mass voter purges ahead of the midterm elections, upholding the lower court's finding that the modified SAVE system illegally discloses sensitive personal information and poses a risk of voter registration cancellations for citizens.
