A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump Administration’s voter-screening database.US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, a Biden appointee, said the Trump Administration “haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable.”Last March, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at preserving and protecting the integrity of US elections.“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,” Trump’s executive order said.“Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error. Yet the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote,” Trump said.Judge Sooknanan ruled against Trump on Monday accused the administration of trampling on the privacy rights of American citizens.Politico reported:A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from creating a database of millions of Americans’ private information — including Social Security numbers and citizenship status — saying the administration has fed knowingly inaccurate data to states that are now “actively” and “haphazardly” purging purported non-citizens from voter rolls.“The federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote,” U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan wrote in a 75-page ruling. “This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens.”Ruling in a lawsuit brought by the League of Women Voters and other advocacy groups, the Biden-appointed judge said the Trump administration’s new system — an updated version of the so called “SAVE” database operated by the Department of Homeland Security — combines citizenship data with information from the Social Security Administration to create a clearinghouse that Congress has expressly prohibited.Despite deep concerns about the accuracy of the records, Sooknanan said, the administration has shared the database with states.The post JUST IN: Biden Judge Blocks Trump’s Voter-Screening Database appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
