Mullin threatens states as DHS launches widespread review of elections

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has taken a hardline stance on election security, warning states that refuse to cooperate with his department could face pressure, suggesting the use of "maximum pressure" to address any illegally cast votes. This aggressive approach goes beyond President Trump's previous warnings about election integrity, raising concerns about potential federal overreach in state affairs. The move highlights ongoing tensions over election security and underscores the broader implications for state sovereignty amid fears of foreign interference in voting systems.
