Supreme Court restores federal voter-check system, allowing use of SAVE database

The U.S. Supreme Court, through a shadow-docket ruling, declined to halt the Trump-Vance administration from reinstating a controversial citizenship-verification program. This decision revives the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) SAVE database for flagging voters for removal, a system critics argue has repeatedly misidentified eligible voters as non-citizens. While the ruling allows the system's use, federal protections against mass voter removals remain in place.
