Supreme Court allows federal citizenship tool for voter checks
Original: Supreme Court OKs use of federal citizenship tool to vet voters, but midterm impact will be limited
The US Supreme Court has ruled that states may use a federal citizenship verification tool when checking whether people registering to vote are US citizens. The decision addresses concerns over noncitizen voting, but its practical effect is expected to be limited because changes come too close to the midterm elections to significantly alter voter rolls or procedures this cycle.
Why now: The ruling lands just before the midterms, raising questions about voter eligibility checks and election administration.
