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 election security demands echoing Trump's claims. Experts dismissed the threats as likely ineffective due to judicial obstacles and states' constitutional control over elections. California and Nevada officials defended their election integrity despite Mullin's unsubstantiated claims about noncitizen voters.
