Integrity of Upcoming Elections in Jeopardy

Trump DOJ asks Supreme Court to restore voter roll verification tool blocked by Biden-appointed judge

The Trump administration is asking the Supreme Court to revive a federal voter-eligibility verification system that a Biden-appointed district judge shut down in June, a move Solicitor General John Sauer says threatens the integrity of upcoming elections.

Sauer filed an emergency application with the high court requesting a stay of the order issued by U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who blocked the federal government from using an updated version of the SAVE program, short for Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, to help states confirm that only citizens remain on their voter rolls.

The case, League of Women Voters et al. v. DHS, is docketed as No. 26A at the Supreme Court.

At stake is whether states can continue tapping a federal database that cross-references Social Security records to flag non-citizens registered to vote. Sauer called the district court order "indefensible" and warned that it strips the government of its most effective tool for answering state requests to verify citizenship, not just for elections, but for other federal and state benefit programs as well.

Democrats sue again - Protecting the illegal votes

Democrats sue to block Trump executive order restricting mail-in ballot distribution

Congressional Democrats and the Democratic National Committee filed a lawsuit Wednesday to block President Trump's recent executive order cracking down on mail-in voting, setting up yet another legal battle over election integrity measures that the left reflexively frames as "voter suppression."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and other party organizations joined the suit, with prominent Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias leading the charge.

The complaint targets an executive order that would restrict how mail-in ballots are distributed, part of a broader effort by the administration to ensure that only verified U.S. citizens receive them.

Earlier this week, President Trump announced that he directed Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, along with the Social Security Administration, to create a list of verified U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote. Under the order, the U.S. Postal Service will only be permitted to send ballots to those people.

Save Act

No one is buying the Democrats’ gender war attacks on voter ID and the SAVE Act

Estimates for the total number of illegal immigrants living in the United States range from 11 million to 18 million, with Democrats often pushing the former number and Republicans the latter.

For the sake of argument says The Washington Examiner, let’s say the Center for Immigration Studies’s March study is correct, and the number is approximately 16 million.

With such a massive noncitizen population, it is obvious that serious steps should be taken to ensure that only citizens vote. To oppose such a move is strong evidence of bad faith and nefarious purpose.

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, also known as the SAVE Act, is a proposed United States law that would amend the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 to require "documentary proof of United States citizenship" to register to vote.
