Trump administration targeting states’ DHS grants to force voting changes, House Dems say
Democrats on the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee accuse the Trump administration of using Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant programs to pressure states into altering election laws, including requiring the use of the SAVE system to verify voter citizenship. The committee claims these demands conflict with court rulings and are impossible to meet before upcoming elections, risking $200 million in federal funds.
