Congress weighs cuts to states’ already ‘insufficient’ election security dollars

Congress is debating cuts to election security funding amid demands from President Donald Trump and Republican allies for new voting restrictions. The U.S. Election Assistance Commission, which provides grants for election security, faces reduced annual funding, with House Republicans advocating for further reductions. The Senate has stalled the SAVE America Act, a bill requiring voter ID and citizenship proof, despite claims of widespread election fraud without evidence.
