Supreme Court Allows States to Cross-Check Voter Rolls with Citizenship Data
States may cross-check voter data for the 2026 election against a federal citizenship database, the U.S. Supreme Court said Friday in an emergency ruling (DHS v. League of Women Voters). According to federal law, the court said, "the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters." The brief order was unsigned, but the three progressive judges publicly dissented.
