🚨 New York is at a crossroads.
Â
Lawmakers just passed a bill this spring opening the door for our state to join ERIC—a private corporation that demands access to sensitive voter & DMV data, even of minors, with zero public oversight.
But there’s a better option: the federally run SAVE system, created to verify eligibility securely and transparently, without outsourcing control of our elections to private interests.
🗳️ New Yorkers deserve voter rolls that are accurate, secure, and accountable. Not bloated. Not politicized. Not outsourced to a partisan non profit.
PROJECT CIVICA FILES WITH THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
Project CIVICA Files Amicus Brief with the U.S. Supreme Court Watson v. Republican National Committee (No. 24-1260) Project CIVICA has filed a case before the U.S. Supreme Court defending Congress’s mandate for a single Election Day in federal elections. Working with Citizens for New Jersey Election Integrity, we submitted an amicus curiae brief in Watson v. Republican National Committee to bring real-world election administration evidence to the Court. The case examines whether federal elections must follow Congress’s requirement that Election Day occur on a single designated day, or whether states may continue accepting ballots after Election Day has passed.
Filed: February 17, 2026
Oral Argument Scheduled: April 23, 2026
Video Overview
In this Project CIVICA statewide meeting recording, President Kim Hermance explains why the amicus brief was filed, the legal questions before the Court, and what this case could mean for election administration across the country. Watch to learn how citizen research, collaboration, and civic engagement can help bring real-world evidence to policymakers and the courts.
