What happened?
- U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan ruled the overhauled SAVE voter verification system unlawful and barred its use in its current form.
- The revamped SAVE aggregated personal data from USCIS, SSA, and American-born citizen records to enable bulk checks of state voter rolls.
- Several states had already run their entire voter lists through SAVE; foreign-born U.S. citizens were mistakenly flagged as potential noncitizens.
