The Trump administration increased its efforts to control national elections by taking a strong stance. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned local election officials of potential jail time if they fail to comply with requests for voter data. This action comes after the president reiterated previously debunked claims regarding the integrity of American elections during a prime-time speech.
Liz Landers, a White House correspondent for PBS News Hour, highlights these developments. Before her current role, she worked as the national security correspondent at Scripps News and reported on disinformation for the network.
