CLC's Brief in United States v. Bellows — League of Women Voters of Maine's Appellee Brief

On August 17, 2026, the League of Women Voters of Maine as Defendant-Intervenors, represented by CLC, the Brennan Center, and Johnson, Webbert, and Beard, LLP filed its appellee brief in the First Circuit. The United States appealed the district court's decision to dismiss its complaint and deny its motion for an order to show cause. The brief urges the First Circuit to uphold the district court's dismissal and hold that the United States cannot use the Civil Rights Act to obtain the sensitive voter data of Maine voters.
