US Supreme Court allows Trump to use controversial voter 'verification' system

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from France 24 [en] · North America

Critics argue the administration is exaggerating the threat of non-citizen voters – an extreme rarity in US elections – to implement policies that would disenfranchise likely Democratic voters.
