Résumé

There is not enough evidence to verify that the Court lifted a lower-court injunction on September 25, 2026, allowing the Trump administration and states to use the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE system to screen voter rolls for non-citizens. The claim that the Court allowed states to use the Department of Homeland Security's SAVE system to check voter rolls on October 3, 2026, is partially confirmed. There is not enough evidence to support the existence of a 90-day quiet period restricting large-scale purges from voter rolls before the November elections.
