Governor Shapiro Leads 20+ States in Election Funding Lawsuit | Pittsburgh News
Description
Governor Josh Shapiro is leading a coalition of 20+ governors in a bold legal challenge against the Trump administration, accusing it of weaponizing $300 million in homeland security grants to force states to adopt election changes — including mandatory 5% ballot audits and federal voter roll matching — under threat of losing funding. The lawsuit, filed in Rhode Island, frames the move as an unconstitutional overreach that undermines state sovereignty and spreads baseless election conspiracies. While FEMA defends the measures as essential for national security, Pennsylvania’s Republican AG stayed out — but Shapiro’s office moved forward under state law, making this a high-stakes battle over who controls election integrity.
