Democrats like Sen. Elissa Slotkin have accidentally said the quiet part out loud about why their party opposes the SAVE America Act, voter ID and citizenship verification. Remember this?

Well, there it is.
Slotkin will no doubt be unhappy to hear today's Supreme Court news:
JUST IN: The Supreme Court has given the Trump administration the green light to use a federal citizenship database to verify voters ahead of the midterm elections. https://t.co/FGbvhH1u9A

The Democrats, who like to claim that noncitizens voting never happens even though they're frequently found to appear on voter rolls, won't be happy about this for obvious reasons.
The Supreme Court has given the Trump administration a green light to use a federal citizenship database to verify voters ahead of the midterm elections.
In a 6-3 opinion, the Supreme Court, for now, lifted a lower court order that blocked the Department of Homeland Security from expanding a 40-year-old immigration database -- known as the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system -- to help states screen voter records for noncitizens.
The immediate impact of the ruling is unclear, since states are prohibited by law from purging their voter rolls within 90 days of Election Day.
"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. Under these circumstances, the equities weigh in favor of a stay," the majority wrote.
We all know what will happen next...

I can’t even understand how this is a story. Voters should have ALWAYS been required to prove US citizenship in order to vote. It’s only common sense. https://t.co/K8RgHvOuLf

It IS common sense, which is why the Democrats so vehemently oppose it.
