Order allows states to use DHS’ Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program
An order issued Friday by the Supreme Court temporarily allows the Trump administration to move forward with a mass voter verification system.
The emergency order allows states, for now, to use the Department of Homeland Security program, called Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, in their efforts to verify the eligibility of voters on their rolls.
Because existing law blocks most states from systematically purging voters from their rolls within 90 days of an election, the immediate impact of Friday’s order on the upcoming midterms is likely limited, the Associated Press reported. States’ use of the SAVE program is voluntary.
