The US Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to proceed with using a controversial database to check the citizenship status of registered voters, according to BBC News.
The database has drawn criticism from voting rights advocates and other critics, who have questioned the reliability of the underlying data. They warn that inaccuracies could result in eligible US citizens being wrongly flagged and removed from electoral rolls.
The decision clears the way for the database's use in voter citizenship checks while the underlying legal dispute over the matter continues to be contested.
