Mullin Pushes States on Election Security | US News
Description
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is ramping up pressure on states to adopt the federal SAVE program for voter roll verification, warning of funding cuts or investigations for non-compliance ahead of the midterms. He cites unsubstantiated claims of 250,000 noncitizen voters in key states, though experts doubt the data’s validity. California and Pennsylvania vow to defend their election integrity, with Governor Newsom declaring California’s elections “free, fair, and secure.” Legal experts dismiss Mullin’s threats as legally baseless, citing past court rulings against federal access to voter data and stalled citizenship verification bills. While Mullin promises new cyber resources for SAVE participants, his agency’s election security efforts have been scaled back, raising questions about federal support.
