The Trump administration recently intensified its efforts to influence the nation’s election process. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin issued warnings to local election officials. These officials face potential jail time if they fail to comply with demands for voter data.
This development follows a prime-time address by the President, during which he revisited previously debunked claims regarding the integrity of American elections. These actions suggest a strong push from the administration to scrutinize and control election mechanisms across the country.
