President Donald Trump’s administration has made a new move that could have major implications for the upcoming 2026 elections.

The administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the use of a revised federal database to help states verify the citizenship information of people listed on voter rolls.

The Trump administration argues that the system can help states maintain accurate voter records and protect election integrity.

Critics, however, say the database contains unreliable information and could potentially cause eligible voters to be incorrectly flagged.

The Supreme Court is now being asked to weigh in as the November midterm elections approach, putting voting rules and election administration back at the center of the national political debate.
