Federal judge blocks Trump administration's use of SAVE database for voter citizenship checks
By
Ali Swenson, Fatima Hussein
Summary
A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's use of the revamped SAVE program, a federal voter database tool used to check citizenship status. U.S. District Court Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan ruled that the upgraded system aggregated Americans' sensitive personal data in a way that could lead to wrongful voter purges. The ruling sided with advocacy groups who argued the tool violated privacy and voting rights. The SAVE program, originally designed for verifying immigration status for benefits, was recently upgraded and used by state election officials to identify potentially illegally registered noncitizen voters, but critics raised concerns about its accuracy and security.
