Congresswoman Nikema Williams’ Statement on the Supreme Court Permitting Trump Administration to Use Expanded Database for Potential Voter Purges

ATLANTA, GA – Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) released the following statement in response to the Supreme Court permitting the Trump administration to use an expanded federal database to purge voter rolls.

Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) said: 

“I led a Congressional letter in December 2025 demanding that DHS not overhaul the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system. The Supreme Court’s decision to allow Trump and DHS to use this system to purge voter rolls is a disgrace to our constitutional right to vote. This action is a direct assault on Americans’ right to privacy and an affront to the power of Congress.

Information from the overhauled SAVE system will almost certainly include errors and other inaccuracies, leading to Americans being incorrectly removed from the voter rolls and denied their right to vote for no reason. The use of the SAVE system for the purpose of determining voter eligibility is dangerous and unreliable, and it will be used as a tool against our democracy and free and fair access to the ballot.”

Congresswoman Nikema Williams sent a Congressional Oversight letter in December of 2025 concerning the SAVE system and its use to purge voters. Read more here.
