The US Supreme Court revived on Friday an expanded immigration database that President Donald Trump's administration said aims to combat voting by noncitizens but critics contend could disenfranchise eligible voters.

The justices ​granted the Justice Department's request to block a judge's order that had stopped state officials from using Social Security numbers and other information to conduct sweeping checks of ‌the citizenship status of registered voters against federal records.

Remember, if the dems win the midterms, trump and his family/minions aren't the only people they're going to look into. 5 of SCOTUS seemed to have taken bribes. If you need the sources, ask and I'll dig them up.

Great, so 5 SCOTUS have a direct personal reason to make sure Democrats aren't seated?

They ain't gonna look into anybody if the Dems win. They'll put the same amount of effort they did when Biden was president.

If Dems win the midterms, we'll know the true margin is significantly higher.

I'll let Congress know to ask you if this comes up.

This is set up to destroy democratic areas.

In their Supreme Court filing, the advocacy groups cited a Travis ⁠County, Texas, election official who said 25% of the system's noncitizen matches there involved people who had already proven their US citizenship, and news reports finding that at least 81% of the system's responses in St. Louis County, Missouri, were erroneous.

Both counties are deeply democratic strongholds in magat states

So, just roll over and let the fascists seize full power to murder minorities and coloured people?

Always knew they would, just didn't know how. Weird how quiet Democrats are about this.

It's not weird at all. Establishment democrats are neoliberals. Neoliberals are conservatives. They have been controlled opposition for decades. The conservatism metastasized a long time ago.

There is no peaceful way to stop conservatism.

It's weird how potential plans to cheat in elections, or make elections obsolete, are published by the billionaire-owned media.

If that's what you want to do. That's not what I want to happen though.

Sorry, forgot the /s

It's so unfortunate they've chosen this path.

It will be more but plenty will say its not enough. Dems are well aware who this is targeted at. a bare majority will not do it as you have things like fetterman.
