GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The decision could expand states' ability to cross-check voter rolls against federal immigration and identity records, which critics may argue raises privacy concerns given the sensitivity of Social Security and citizenship data. Supporters of the policy could see this as validating efforts to verify voter eligibility, while opponents may view it as enabling broader data-sharing with uncertain safeguards.
