Supreme Court restores citizenship data tool for voter verification

The Supreme Court has allowed the use of a federal citizenship data system, letting states cross-check voter rolls to identify potential non-citizens. The ruling lifts lower-court restrictions and marks a win for the Trump administration, which had pushed for expanded access to the tool for voter-list audits. Critics have warned the system's data can be error-prone and could lead to eligible voters being wrongly flagged, while supporters say it strengthens election integrity.
