Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin has a message for states that refuse to remove potential ineligible voters out of their voter rolls: lose funding.
Mullin’s message came as he said the DHS has detected more than 250,000 noncitizens who were illegally on voter registration rolls in four states: California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Nevada, according to a story by the Epoch Times.
“We know Iran hacked state voter files and attempted to compromise our systems where military members used to vote,” he said, adding that DHS “security enhancements” will be mandatory.
“If these states want a grant, and they want to be reimbursed to run federal elections, they’re going to have to implement security measures.”
Voting systems have to be secured, and voter registration lists need to be “scrubbed,” Mullin said.
“We need to make sure that individuals that are legally able to vote are voting,” he said.

“President Trump is correct when he said that election security is national security…this is just exposing what took place and to make sure it never happens again.
“And there’s some really easy steps that can be taken to secure our elections, and it shouldn’t be a partisan issue.”
Mullin said he is asking election officials in those four states to check voter rolls for people who are not American citizens, saying that it’s not a “partisan issue” to safeguard the process.
“We will secure our elections,” he said, adding that DHS has a mandate to “keep our voters safe and our elections safe.”
