Supreme Court allows Trump administration to use voter database before 2026 midterms. Why accuracy, privacy and false matches are under scrutiny

The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed the Department of Homeland Security to use the SAVE database for voter eligibility checks. This ruling follows a lower court's decision that blocked the expanded use of the system. Critics are concerned about the accuracy of federal records and the potential for wrongly flagged citizens. States can decide if they will utilize this federal resource as they prepare for elections.
