Trump DHS threatens federal funding cutoff for states that refuse voter-roll security push

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned that states refusing to comply with Trump administration election-security requirements could lose federal funding, with election officials facing fines, penalties, or prison time for ignoring DHS-provided information. Twenty-three states participate in DHS' expanded SAVE program to compare voter records against immigration data, while others, including Mississippi and West Virginia, do not. Mullin urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, which mandates documentary proof of citizenship and photo identification for voter registration.
