## Resource

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is sounding the alarm on voter roll integrity, revealing federal findings of over 250,000 potential noncitizens registered to vote in four states—and 400,000 dead voters still on rolls. He’s urging all states, regardless of politics, to clean up their systems before midterms, warning that illegal voters will face up to five years in prison and $250,000 fines. Mullin also raised red flags about foreign interference risks to voting machines, tying federal election funding to stronger security upgrades. Meanwhile, CISA prepares to unveil a new election infrastructure plan. But skeptics question the real impact—arguing noncitizen voting is rare and unlikely to sway outcomes, and casting doubt on the data’s reliability, noting the gap between registration and actual voting.
