California Secretary of State Shirley Weber and top election officials in three other states have until July 31 to tell the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) whether they will cooperate with a federal effort to identify and remove alleged noncitizens from state voter rolls. New Jersey Secretary of State Dale Caldwell, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar and Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt also received letters following President Donald Trump’s July 16 prime-time address on election security. “Election security is national security,” Mullin stated in the letter. In California, election officials work every day to maintain accurate voter rolls and ensure that only eligible voters are registered.” Mullin has publicly warned that election officials who fail to comply with federal election changes first published July 10 could face steep fines, other federal penalties and possible prison time.
