The Supreme Court Revives a Voter-Citizenship Database Ahead of the Midterms

The Supreme Court has revived a contested voter-citizenship database less than two months before the midterm elections. In the ruling, the court sided with the Trump administration, which is seeking to use the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE database to review state voter rolls for potential noncitizens. That puts the tool back in play at close range to voting day, with the mechanics of how it gets applied left to the states and agencies involved.
