Supreme Court RESTORES Trump’s Voter Purge Database: 81% Error Rate Exposed!
A shocking 81% of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, database responses in St. Louis County, Missouri, were found to be erroneous. The US Supreme Court has restored an expanded immigration database, allowing the Justice Department to block a judge's order that had stopped state officials from using Social Security numbers and other information to conduct sweeping checks of the citizenship status of registered voters. Critics argue that the database is unreliable and is being used to disenfranchise eligible voters. The modified system has resulted in people who were wrongfully identified as noncitizens being kicked off voter rolls. The Department of Homeland Security redesigned the federal database last year, allowing users to search many records at a time and to conduct searches using individuals' Social Security numbers. Several Republican-led states have compared their voter lists to the database, and some voters flagged as potential noncitizens have had their registrations canceled. The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit declined to halt the judge's order, prompting the administration's request to the Supreme Court. The case has sparked concerns about election security and the potential for voter disenfranchisement. The League of Women Voters and the Electronic Privacy Information Center sued to block the revised SAVE system, arguing that it violates federal privacy and other US laws. The US Constitution gives individual states the primary authority to run and administer elections. The Trump administration's actions have been criticized by advocacy groups, who say that the database is being used to gain political advantage by narrowing the electorate. The voting rights group has called the decision "profoundly disappointing," saying it puts Americans "at risk of being unlawfully targeted by the administration's unreliable voter purge database weeks before the midterm elections."
