Maine is forgoing roughly $130,000 in election security grant money because the state does not plan to comply with new requirements from the Trump administration. The money comes from a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant program, and voting officials say new requirements from the administration will make the money inaccessible for most of the country. Voting officials say the amount of money at risk won’t make or break the country’s election security. But the potential withholding of funds over policy differences — combined with other recent election security cuts — has many wondering whether the Trump administration is prioritizing election security the way it claims it is. Language that explicitly banned using grant money for activities that “could be used to suppress voter registration or turnout” was removed.
