DHS plans costly crackdown on states that don’t cooperate on election security
The Department of Homeland Security plans to withhold billions in preparedness grants from states that refuse to adopt new election security measures, including voter citizenship verification, post-election audits, and expanded use of paper ballots. FEMA, a DHS sub-agency, requires states to transition from unsecure electronic voting systems and use the SAVE database to verify voter citizenship to qualify for grants.
