EPIC Urges Supreme Court to Protect Voters and Strike Down Arizona’s SAVE-based Voter-Registration Cancellation Program
EPIC filed an amicus brief in Republican National Committee v. Mi Familia Vota, asking the Supreme Court to strike down Arizona's H.B. 2243, which allows voter registration cancellations based on the SAVE federal immigration database. EPIC was supported by pro bono counsel from Jenner & Block and CREW.
Why this matters: This case is about whether a state can strip people of their voter registration using a federal immigration database that is known to contain errors. When bad data removes someone from the rolls, they often do not find out until they show up to vote. That is not a minor inconvenience. It is a clean example of automated decision-making with real consequences and no easy fix on the day it matters most. The accuracy of the underlying database is the whole ballgame here.
