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.

Non-Citizens on Voter Rolls

Confirmed: Foreigners by hundreds of thousands fill U.S. voter rolls

DHS reveals non-citizens are registered, COULD vote, albeit illegally

That's according to documentation from the Department of Homeland Security which has confirmed that nearly 300,000 non-citizens are "illegally registered to vote in just the four states for which public data files have been reviewed."

President Donald Trump, who repeatedly has expressed his concerns about corruption in the U.S. election system and the possibility of outsiders influencing the U.S., confirmed the problem. Of course, since Democrat-run states have declined to aid in the basic election integrity work, the number actually probably is much higher.

A report at Not the Bee cited the federal SAVE system, which could be used to verify voters' citizenship.

"State election officials in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada have been notified of this serious threat to national security and DHS stands ready to support their efforts to identify and remove ineligible registrants.

The investigation is expanding to include multiple additional states. In addition, DHS will support the Department of Justice's review of voter files obtained pursuant to their enforcement authority under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002," the DHS said.
