President Donald Trump wants to let states use a federal database that includes voters’ personal information to check for noncitizens on voter rolls.
The Trump administration can use a wide-ranging government database that includes Social Security information to help state officials identify noncitizens on their voter lists, the Supreme Court said on Friday.
The emergency ruling means the database will be accessible ahead of November’s midterm elections for states that want to use it. But the fight over the procedure’s legality will continue in the lower courts.
In an unsigned opinion, the majority said the claims made by the voters who challenged the database’s use “likely lack merit.” At issue is the inclusion of Social Security data in a system, maintained by the Department of Homeland Security, called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE).
The court wrote that, under laws covering the data, “the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters.”
The court’s three liberals dissented, citing the plaintiffs’ claims that the data has been shown to have errors that could lead lawful voters to being barred from casting ballots.
“The Court also focuses only on the harms the Government will purportedly suffer absent a stay, disregarding the harms that the modified SAVE system has caused, and will likely continue to cause, to lawful voters,” Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote for the liberals in dissent. “The Court thus misuses its equitable powers.”
The immediate effects of the ruling may be narrow because states are barred under federal law from purging large numbers of voters from their rolls in the 90 days leading up to an election. That means states can take voters off their lists only if they have specific information showing a voter...

I did not read the article, but I did not think that non-citizens could HAVE Social Security cards?
Hopefully this will help smoke out all of the fraudsters using fake and stolen SSNs.
Unfortunately some do.
(sarcasm, of course)
Another job for AI ,LOL
“ I did not read the article, but I did not think that non-citizens could HAVE Social Security cards?”
Well, they can’t. But they do
You know the 2020 was stolen, no?
See how much better it is to have a stolen SSN?
NOT SUPPOSED TO—_BUT THEY USE STOLEN NUMBERS
What a lame argument. The errors run BOTH ways, false positives AND false negatives. If there' an error that bars a legitimate person from voting, there are probably 10X more errors that ALLOW an illegal to vote.
Going to be a long list.
Hey Thune, are you listening? Do you want to join Cornyn?
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
It would seem that the opportunity for the Federal Government to invalidate State-run “elections” is increasing...
Begs the question: How did these illegals get on the Social Security data list in the first place and how much money have they stolen?
No slant in that article. (sarc)
People without a SSN can apply for an ITIN when they file a federal tax return. First digit is a 9. A tax return with an ITIN application must be mailed in and it takes about 6 months to process.
I worked with a Certifying Acceptance Agent (CAA) for many years. A CAA is a tax preparer that is authorized by the IRS to certify passports/visas for an ITIN application without the need for the taxpayer to mail original documents to the IRS. Most our ITIN applications were for the spouse and kids of H1B’s from India.
