Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has warned state officials they could lose funding or face investigations if they don't follow President Donald Trump’s election security demands. Experts say the threats delivered in an address at the White House complex are toothless because the Constitution gives the power to run elections to the states and the demands are illegal. Mullin spoke a day after the Republican president’s primetime address on elections. Mullin on Friday pledged to aggressively monitor public voter lists to pursue potential voter fraud cases before and after the 2026 election. The remarks could increase doubts about election processes ahead of November midterm elections that will determine control of Congress.
