Supreme Court Allows States to Use SAVE Database for Citizenship Status Queries
The Supreme Court has ruled that states can query the federal SAVE database for citizenship status, despite dissent from three Democratic-appointed justices who raised concerns about inaccuracies and voter harm. The majority opinion found that the queries likely do not violate federal laws, while the dissent highlighted potential risks to voters, particularly recently naturalized citizens. The case is expected to have limited impact on the upcoming midterm elections.
