2026-04-03 Motion for Leave to File Amicus Brief Amicus Brief Proposed Order(44168.1)

The full amicus brief is viewable 👇

NEW: The Center for Media and Democracy has joined with other democracy defenders on an amicus brief in support of a League of Women Voters lawsuit challenging conversion of the SAVE database to a tool to disenfranchise voters. Filed with @commoncause.org, @campaignlegal.org, & @protectdemocracy.org

The Trump Administration has manufactured a non-existent problem—non-citizen voting— in order to deceive the public and disrupt the election process—all with an eye to deny American citizens’ their fundamental right to vote. The SAVE overhaul will do nothing to make our elections more secure—it only serves to sow distrust in our elections and disenfranchise voters. - Jared Davidson, Counsel, Protect Democracy

NEW: We filed an amicus brief objecting to the overhaul & repurposing of the SAVE system as an illegal effort to nationalize voter reg. & disenfranchise qualified voters. Filed w/ @campaignlegal.org, @exposedbycmd.bsky.social, and @commoncause.org.
