In an unsigned shadow docket opinion (the 3 court liberals issued a dissent) the Supreme Court issued a ruling saying that the Trump Administration’s "Verified Voter" database.
Despite the fact that the database is inaccurate, and despite the Supreme Court's own Purcell Doctrine, which says that courts should not change rules too close to the elections, the corrupt 6 want to allow the Trump to use their bogus database to undermine the election.
The Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the Trump administration can deploy an expansive online system that combines citizenship information, Social Security numbers and other sensitive data about millions of Americans, allowing states to use it to hunt for ineligible voters.
Critics fear that states could use the system to purge large numbers of valid voters from their rolls ahead of the midterm elections.
The decision is a win for President Trump, who has pressed his administration to find evidence of widespread noncitizen voting, even though such instances are exceedingly rare. However, states are not required to use the federal system and it remains to be seen how much enthusiasm there will be among local and state election officials for it, as it has mistakenly flagged U.S. citizens as noncitizens in past searches.
The majority concluded that a lower-court ruling that had blocked the Trump administration from rolling out the system was improper because it inhibited “the federal government’s efforts to assist state and local agencies in the proper administration of the midterm elections.”
The emergency ruling was unsigned and gave no vote count, but the court’s three liberal justices joined in dissent. In a 12-page dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson emphasized that the majority’s decision created the conditions for some states to cancel the voter registrations of at least some recently naturalized citizens or to force them to provide proof of citizenship before voting.
