Trump gains partial legal win on voter data
U.S. President Donald Trump achieved a partial victory before the Supreme Court in the dispute over the use of detailed voter data. The court allowed local authorities and states to access the Department of Homeland Security's database to verify citizenship, despite opposition from human rights organizations citing violations of data protection laws. In March, the department's powers were expanded to include Social Security Administration data, raising concerns about data accuracy and potential misuse, especially since the database is now being used in citizenship verification cases ahead of the upcoming midterm elections on November 3. There are warnings that the database could mistakenly identify American citizens as ineligible to vote.
