DHS chief threatens to prosecute election officials as Trump escalates fight over state voter rolls

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin's threats to prosecute election officials in non-compliant states highlight a growing tension in the administration's approach to election security. The directive demands states enhance voting machine security and share voter data with federal authorities, raising concerns about potential overreach and the undermining of local election management. This escalation reflects President Trump's ongoing challenges to the integrity of voter rolls, which could have significant implications for future elections and the trust in democratic processes.
