    The Supreme Court let the administration resume using a revamped citizenship-screening database to check voters, over a dissent warning it will misidentify citizens.

    In DHS v. League of Women Voters (No. 26A308), the Supreme Court granted an unsigned stay on September 25, 2026, by a 6-3 vote, letting states resume using DHS's modified SAVE database, now linked to Social Security records, to check voters' citizenship while the underlying case proceeds, reversing a June 2026 district court injunction. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, joined by Justices Kagan and Sotomayor, warning the majority disregarded the harm of letting a flawed tool keep operating. Local test runs have found high error rates: a St. Louis County, Missouri check flagged 691 voters as noncitizens, of whom at least 81% were later confirmed to be citizens, and Texas reinstated 20% of the voters SAVE had flagged.

    Ordered proof of citizenship for voter registration by executive order. A federal judge permanently blocked it, ruling that elections are Congress’s and the states’ to regulate.

    Executive Order 14248 (March 2025) told the Election Assistance Commission to require documentary proof of citizenship on the federal registration form. On October 31, 2025, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly permanently barred that, and in January 2026 she blocked two further citizenship provisions. The ruling rested on who has the power to act; it did not decide whether proof of citizenship is good policy.
