Trump Administration Threatens DHS Funding Cuts Over Election Reforms
Federal security grants are being used as leverage for election changes.
Event Overview
The Trump administration is threatening to withhold up to 20% of DHS security grants, totaling $1 billion, from states that do not adopt specific election-integrity measures. These requirements include the use of hand-marked paper ballots and citizenship verification. The move follows the stalling of the SAVE America Act in the Senate, which sought to federalize these requirements.
