This is... troubling. SCOTUS is allowing the Trump administration to use an error-ridden tool that relies on inaccurate data. This tool has already led to false allegations of non-citizen voting. Now, it could "accidentally" remove legal voters from the rolls, causing real disenfranchisement.

Thanks to SCOTUS GOP-appointed majority (same ones who attended Trump's state dinner last night), Trump admin will use faulty & inaccurate data to wrongly label eligible voters non-citizens & pressure states to remove them from rolls. Sets a chilling precedent www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Now combine with this pattern : www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... They should not get the benefit of the doubt; they’ve proven their data is crap, and people shouldn’t use it. (They should be using ERIC, which a bunch of the swing states abandoned for no good reason.)
