???? SHOCK! States Lose Millions In Election Funds? Will You?
Tap title to read story
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) may withhold millions in election security funding from states that don't comply with new voting rules. This affects about $28 million, a small percentage of the overall grant program, but experts worry it could impact hundreds of millions more in law enforcement grants. The new rules include using a new, untested DHS citizenship verification system for poll workers and prioritizing compliance with recently created federal voting system guidelines. States like Maine are refusing the money rather than comply, raising concerns about the Trump administration's commitment to election security and potential voter suppression.
