Supreme Court, 6-3, lets states keep running voter rolls through the feds' SAVE citizenship database for now. The fight isn't over.

The Supreme Court on Friday sided with the Trump administration, voting 6-3 to pause a lower-court order that had blocked the Department of Homeland Security's overhauled SAVE database, which states and localities can use to check voter rolls for noncitizens, CBS News reports. In June, U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan found the expanded system violated federal privacy law. The court's unsigned majority said the challengers' claims "likely lack merit" and that the lower court's order "inhibits the Federal Government's efforts to assist state and local agencies in the proper administration of the midterm elections." Justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented. Voting rights groups say the database has fed states inaccurate citizenship data and that some of their members' registrations were wrongly canceled. CBS reports that widespread noncitizen voting has been shown to be very rare. This is a pause while the case continues, not the final word. Why it matters at home: keeping the rolls accurate and keeping eligible voters on them are the same promise. If you've moved or changed your name, take two minutes this week and confirm your registration with your county clerk.
