Federal Judge Says Federal Databases Cannot be Used by the Federal Government

Duh!

Just another foreign born Biden appointee at work.

Her ruling is just bad, but unless a stay is granted, it helps delay assuring an honest vote in the midterms. And that is the point of these leftoid judges rulings.

 

[Darkwind]

Will the Trump Admin appeal it? They stand a good chance of winning if they do.

Most the far left racist bigot Democrats are against clean and fair elections, because they know that the corrupt Democrat Party cannot win without cheating.
She probably hates hates White people, and she wants non citizens to be able to vote in our elections.
She is against voting rights and "democracy".
These backwards racist Progressives are turning America into a third world country.

She was appointed by the dirty crook Joe Biden.
If she jumped in a pool it would cause an oil slick.

Could it be because voting & voter registration occurs at the STATE level, not federal?

There are federal voting rights laws.
The judge is protecting Democrat voting fraud, not voting rights.

The federal government is not globally banned from using federal databases. However, it is strictly limited by law on how and which databases can be utilized


Several laws place restrictions on data use: [1]

• Privacy Act of 1974: Mandates that an agency can only use collected personal data for the exact purpose it was originally provided (e.g., tax records cannot be used for unrelated investigations). [1]
• Information Silos: To protect citizen privacy and ensure civic trust, federal records were historically compartmentalized. Agencies cannot arbitrarily share records without following rigorous, transparent "routine use" exceptions. [1, 2]
• Sector-Specific Laws: Statutes such as the Every Student Succeeds Act or Internal Revenue Code contain strict provisions explicitly prohibiting the government from using data for purposes outside their targeted mandates. [1, 2]

It was the right decision. Unlike you Trump nuts, there are many of us that don’t want a Big Brother state. That is exactly what the judge is trying to prevent. You Trumpers have more in common with Kim Jung Un than Thomas Jefferson. Really, no surprise given Red MAGAs penchant for authoritarian government.

She is a Federal Judge, and it is none of her business.

It will be appealed, but they need a stay of her order so they can use the database in 2026.

The conservatives on the SC better pick a side or they can wait for Democrats to pack the court or oust them. Playing nice with Democrats is worse than dealing with the devil.

Judge halts Trump voter database that pools Social Security numbers

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from building a database of millions of Americans’ personal and sensitive data.

A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump's administration from building a database of millions of Americans’ personal and sensitive data. The suit was filed after the Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration attempted to transform the DHS’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system into a national citizenship database. Activist groups argued that the Social Security data within that system was unreliable and was being used by some states to purge voter rolls and open criminal investigations into lawful voters.
Marcia Johnson, the chief of activation and justice for the League of Women Voters, which brought the lawsuit against the federal government alongside the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), called the decision "a resounding victory for voters." “Efforts to create a federal voter database to facilitate voter purges threaten the fundamental right at the heart of our democracy," she said.

According to the judge's 75-page ruling, several federal agencies had joined forces in the past year to create the centralized federal database containing U.S. citizens' Social Security numbers, citizenship status, and other sensitive data. "The agencies were scrambling to comply with an Executive Order aimed at reshaping federal elections, which directed them to create a system for mass voter verification," she wrote. 'So they haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable. Since then, states have partnered with the federal government to access the database and are actively removing United States citizens from voter rolls based on inaccurate information." The judge ruled that the Trump administration implemented the drastic changes "in secret," violating statutory requirements. Specifically, the court found that the government failed to provide proper public notice, offer comment windows, or thoroughly assess privacy risks as mandated by the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and the Privacy Act of 1974.

A secretive digital attack against US citizens and the American ballot box by the Trump regime, which intended to purge state voter rolls using private and oftentimes unreliable data.

They should use facial recognition for everything and be done with all this cheating bullshit. Banking, travel security, credit, voting, immigration, crime prevention and enforcement. Who are we kidding, your computer already knows everything about you. Your privacy is just a figment of your imagination. Then, if they could devise an infallible lie detector test, imagine how much unnecessary spending could be avoided on our crooked legal system with our crooked courts. Imaging the fraud that could be prevented. But the people running this country like robbing it, so it will remain the way it is

Not seeing the issue, if you're on the voters roles and can prove citizenship what's the problem?
If a person is not legally eligible to vote why are you against them being removed from voter roles?

Liberals shuttle people around the county with their never-ending protesting. I wouldn't be surprised if these people are knowingly or unknowingly being registered to in multiple states.

It is not a Constitional function of the federal government to police state/national elections. Texas and Alaska (two red states) have complied with the unconstitutional Trump EO. And to quote the judge.....

"The agencies were scrambling to comply with an Executive Order aimed at reshaping federal elections, which directed them to create a system for mass voter verification," she wrote. 'So they haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable.

Can the Federal Government Force States to Hand Over Citizens’ Voter Information?

The U.S. Justice Department has demanded states' complete, unredacted vote registration lists. States have mostly declined to provide their full,…
