DHS to states: Follow our voting rules or lose out on election security money

Election workers process absentee ballots on Nov. 4, 2024, in Portland, Maine. Maine is forgoing roughly $130,000 in election security grant money because the state does not plan to comply with new requirements from the Trump administration.

The Trump administration has tied new requirements to election security grants. Some states told NPR they’re passing on the grants as a result.
