EPIC submitted an amicus brief in the Third Circuit case Voter Reference Foundation v. Schmidt, asking the court to maintain Pennsylvania’s rule that bars posting voter registration lists online. The brief describes the rule, called the Internet Sharing Ban, as a viewpoint‑neutral restriction that protects voters from harassment and intimidation. The case follows a district‑court decision that upheld the ban against First Amendment and preemption challenges.
Why it matters: The filing highlights the importance of state voter‑data privacy protections in the context of ongoing appellate litigation.
