Counties Sue Over Election Grant Rules | Dallas News
Description
Counties like El Paso and Harris in Texas are suing the federal government over new election security mandates tied to anti-terrorism grants, arguing the conditions—such as voter citizenship checks, paper ballot audits, and voting system changes—are unconstitutional, arbitrary, and unrelated to terrorism. Joined by Nashville and Columbus, Ohio, they claim the Trump administration’s threat to withhold 20% of grant funds violates federalism and the Constitution’s Spending Clause, while also failing to follow proper administrative procedures. The legal battle pits federal overreach against local control over elections, raising urgent questions about election integrity and the limits of federal power.
