## Resource

The DOJ just dropped a legal warning to Idaho’s top election official, urging swift action to prevent noncitizens from voting — with threats of criminal charges for election workers who help violators. Idaho’s Secretary of State, Phil McGrane, is unfazed — he’s confident his state’s election system is already federally compliant and sees no need to change anything before November. While federal pressure mounts, recent Supreme Court and state court rulings reinforce that election rules are ultimately state-controlled. And despite a prior lawsuit against McGrane’s office still hanging in the balance, he’s doubling down: Idaho’s election process is solid, and voters can expect a smooth, secure vote this fall.
