Trump administration targeting states’ DHS grants to force voting changes, House Dems say

The Trump administration is accused by House Democrats of using Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant funding guidelines to pressure states into altering election laws. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) withheld up to 20% of grant funds unless states updated their election laws, including using the SAVE computer system to verify voter citizenship, despite a recent court ruling against this practice. Democrats criticized the demands as politically motivated and unrealistic, arguing they undermine public safety and grant accessibility.
