Voting app developer Voatz Inc. is backing the Trump administration in urging the Supreme Court to turn down a request to review the wire fraud conviction of a former police officer who accessed a confidential law enforcement database for an improper purpose.

Voatz describes itself in its friend-of-the-court brief filed with the court as “a for-profit company running a mobile election voting application using blockchain technology,” and says its platform “has been designated as critical infrastructure by the United States Department of Homeland Security.”
