In this way, the White House will be able to use citizenship data to clean up the rolls of undocumented individuals who should not vote in the elections
The Supreme Court of the United States gave the green light to President Donald Trump this Friday to establish a database to verify the citizenship of voters and, in this way, purge illegal immigrants from the electoral roll. Six justices of the high court signed the ruling, with the three leftist justices —Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson— voting in dissent.
The ultra-leftist justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, nominated to the position by former President Joe Biden, exploded with the ruling: "The harm caused by obstructing or depriving even a few legitimate voters of their right to vote outweighs the nonexistent harm experienced by the government when it is prevented from taking an action that it likely lacks the authority to take."
Last March, Trump signed an executive order aimed at preserving and protecting the integrity of U.S. elections. Democratic states, as expected, opposed this measure and litigated the decree, resulting in this court ruling.
The Court sided with Trump on this electoral issue
"Free, fair, and honest elections, free from fraud, errors, or suspicions, are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the legitimate winner of an election," states the presidential decree.
"Under the Constitution, state governments must safeguard U.S. elections in compliance with federal laws that protect the voting rights of Americans and prevent dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of misappropriation and error," says the text signed by the president.
"However, the United States has not adequately enforced federal electoral requirements that, for example, prohibit states from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote," Trump stated.
