Trump takes his 'voter purge' software plea to the Supreme Court

Original version ·

Because nothing says 'smooth election season' like asking the highest court in the land to let you use a glitchy database for mass voter purges.

So, the Trump administration is back at the Supreme Court, trying to revive a citizenship-checking system called SAVE. They’re insisting this tool is the only way to keep elections clean, but there is a major problem: the system has a nasty habit of flagging perfectly eligible voters as non-citizens.

Lower courts have already blocked this, calling it a privacy disaster. They pointed out that when states used this thing, it accidentally swept up actual citizens, effectively kicking them off the rolls. Trump’s team is arguing that being forced to use the 'old' system is just too much of a headache, but critics are rightfully wondering why we’re gambling with people’s right to vote based on software that can’t even get its facts straight.

Apparently, error-prone code is the new gold standard for election integrity.
