Supreme Court Temporarily Revives SAVE Voter-Citizenship Checks

The Court’s 6–3 emergency order temporarily permits the administration and participating states to use the expanded SAVE database to check voter citizenship while litigation proceeds. Utah’s approximately 70,000 flagged records—most later identified as citizens through manual review—highlight risks of false positives, naturalized-citizen harm, privacy violations, and unreliable data; automatic purges remain barred and the 90-day restriction on systematic removals remains in place.
