Nathaniel Rakich @baseballot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The Supreme Court's ruling on the SAVE database shouldn't affect the 2026 election. Under federal law, you can't systematically remove voters from the rolls within 90 days of an election. 1516657
Eric Johnson @erictjohnson.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Am I reading this wrong or is SCOTUS allowing them to purge the rolls before the midterms? "The District Court’s order thus inhibits the Federal Government’s efforts to assist state and local agencies in the proper administration of *the midterm elections*. 163

Democracy Vibe · by NoMAGA @democracyvibe.bsky.social · 25/09/2026The 90-day rule is a backstop, not a full shield: erroneous removals or challenges made earlier can still leave voters little time to notice and fix the problem. 091
Jerry Timber @jerrytimber.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Remember when you couldn’t appoint a Supreme Court justice because it was too close to an election? Anyone? Remember? 000
Nathaniel Rakich @baseballot.bsky.social · 25/09/2026In the long term, though, the decision will let states keep using SAVE to search for noncitizens on the voter roll. While the tool can be useful, it has been shown to have a very high rate of false positives. 27014
Fredxie @rodgilbert.bsky.social · 25/09/2026True. But watch what happens we the trump administration does it anyway and creates the chaos that they want 020

Ⓐnarky Rules 🏴 @anarkyrules.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Legality's a bougie fantasy and isn't going to stop authoritarians exercising their ability to do what they want. 060
Mortimer Goth @sparkydc.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This is kinda like "Kavanaugh stops." As in, sure, the law TECHNICALLY provides a measure of safety. But what actually happens on the ground is WILDLY different from what the law supposedly promises. 000
Leftie Squared @southysouthpaw.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Laws mean nothing to these people. The purging is likely already in progress. 000
MKSutherland @mktsutherland.bsky.social · 25/09/2026bsky.app/profile/norm...Norm Eisen@normeisen.bsky.socialPlease don't overreact to the SCOTUS SAVE database decision today Page 6 of the decision makes clear that we are in the 90 day statutory window when mass changes cannot be made to voter lists! Yeah it's a shit decision for the reasons the 3 dissenters say but we can deal with it. More to come...nytimes.comSupreme Court Allows Expansive Voter Screening Tool Ahead of Midterms (Gift Article)Critics of the Trump administration system to monitor the citizenship status of voters had raised alarms about privacy and improper voter purges. 000

Lori O. @loriao.bsky.social · 25/09/2026That doesn't mean they aren't going to challenge a whole lot of votes post election. 242
