Trump warns of ‘rampant’ election cheating. The GOP wants to cut the election security agency.

President Donald Trump and Republican allies advocate for voting restrictions, including proof of citizenship requirements, while House Republicans propose significant budget cuts to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC), a federal agency focused on election security. The EAC's funding has declined sharply in recent years, despite GOP claims of rampant election fraud, with Congress approving $45 million in 2025, a fraction of earlier grants. The SAVE America Act, which mandates voter ID and citizenship documentation, faces Senate opposition.
