At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this The Gateway Pundit article, Jordan Conradson reports that the Trump administration is threatening to withhold Department of Homeland Security grant funding from states that refuse to implement new election integrity measures, including proof of citizenship and hand-marked paper ballots.
- New guidelines for DHS grant programs require states to phase out certain electronic voting systems, move to hand-marked paper ballots, and run voter rolls through a DHS citizenship verification database.
- Non-compliant states could lose 20% of grant money, potentially millions in funds used for terrorism prevention, infrastructure protection, and disaster preparedness.
- The rules build on Trump’s March 2025 executive order directing proof of citizenship on national mail voter registration forms and DHS review of state voter rolls and election system security.
- Trump has pressured Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act requiring documentary proof of citizenship, though Senate resistance continues.
- DHS considers election security a core national security priority and expects accountability for taxpayer dollars.
- The move aims to strengthen safeguards against fraud and ensure only eligible citizens participate in elections.
- Critics may decry federal overreach, but the policy enforces basic integrity in a system plagued by vulnerabilities under previous administrations.
