Mullin Demands Election Compliance | Raleigh News

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is ramping up pressure on states to enforce strict election security measures, warning of federal penalties—including fines or prison time—for noncompliance. He’s pushing states to use the federal SAVE program to verify voter rolls and vowed to aggressively pursue illegal voting cases, citing claims of noncitizen voters. The move comes just months before midterms, sparking backlash from state leaders like California’s Gavin Newsom and Nevada’s Secretary of State, who defend their voter integrity. Legal experts, however, note that federal demands for voter data access have been blocked by courts, and citizenship verification legislation remains stalled. Despite shrinking election security resources at the agency, Mullin promises a new cyber threat playbook for states that join the SAVE program.
