Supreme Court backs 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 vetting voter registrations. The decision is seen as a win for election officials seeking to confirm eligibility, but its practical effect on the upcoming midterms is expected to be limited, since registration processes in most states will not change in time to alter November's outcomes significantly.
Why now: A fresh Supreme Court ruling on voter verification is significant ahead of the midterm elections.
