Mullin pushes states to comply with election demands, echoing Trump's claims about midterm risks

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned states could lose funding or face investigations if they do not comply with President Donald Trump's election security demands. Experts dismissed the threats as hollow, citing judicial setbacks and constitutional state control over elections, while states like California and Nevada defended their election integrity. Mullin reiterated unsubstantiated claims about noncitizen voters in several states, despite local officials emphasizing their own voter list maintenance efforts.
