US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said on Friday that states which refuse to comply with the Trump administration's election-security requirements risk losing federal funding. He also warned that election officials who ignore security information provided by DHS could face consequences, as part of a wider administration push to tighten voter-roll security ahead of upcoming elections.

The warning came as Mullin outlined the administration's broader election security efforts, tying continued federal support to states' willingness to adopt the new security measures. The announcement forms part of a wider Trump administration drive on election integrity, which has also included disputes over voter ID policy and accusations of foreign election interference.
