What happened
EPIC, alongside voting rights organisations, is challenging the Department of Homeland Security's proposal to expand the SAVE system into a national citizenship database and the Department of Justice's demands for unredacted state voter rolls. Judge Sooknanan ruled in EPIC's favour on 22 June 2026 and vacated the expansion, but the Supreme Court granted a temporary stay of that order, with three justices dissenting. The article argues the Privacy Act of 1974 is central to the case.
