The Trump administration has increased its efforts to control the nation’s elections. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned local election officials that they could face jail time if they do not comply with requests for voter data. This move comes after the president’s televised address that brought up previously debunked claims about the security of American elections.
