The court revived an expanded immigration database the administration says targets voting by noncitizens, though critics warn it could disenfranchise eligible voters.
The court's ruling permits use of a new federal database intended to verify voter citizenship ahead of November's elections, a move critics say could disenfranchise voters.
The ruling clears the way for the administration to move forward with an expanded version of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system, according to Anadolu Agency.
The Justice Department has petitioned the court to permit use of a revamped database for checking state voter rolls.
