Critics have said the data could lead to U.S. citizens being kicked off the voter rolls, but the justices noted the law prohibits broad voter purges in the weeks leading up to an election.
There’s a provision in the law where they can’t do any mass purges within 90 days of an election. So this ruling is limited to “individualized queries” for the rest of the 2026 cycle. But you can expect it to be a much bigger deal in the 2028 cycle if it doesn’t get overturned.
(This is a situation where Congress has the power to change the law. Hint, hint.)

And it won’t be followed either way with this admin, and it will be too late as Justice moves at a snails pace…
Because this administration has a history of following the law…
