The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) and the League of Women Voters filed a lawsuit challenging DHS’s attempt to expand the SAVE system to check voter eligibility, alleging violations of the U.S. Constitution and federal privacy laws. EPIC also contends that DHS’s creation of national voter registration lists, derived from a prior executive order, is an illegal effort to influence voting. The case was brought before a federal court.
Why it matters: The suit raises significant privacy and constitutional concerns about the government’s use of immigration data for voter eligibility checks.
