DHS Cannot Tie Counterterror Funds to Election Practices

Original: DHS Can’t Condition Counterterror Funds on Running Elections Trump’s Way

The Cato Institute argues that the Department of Homeland Security has no legal authority to condition counterterrorism funding on states running elections according to the Trump administration's preferences. The claim, made in the think tank's publication, raises concerns about federal overreach into state election administration using homeland security grants as leverage.

Why now: A libertarian think tank is publicly challenging a Trump administration funding tactic as legally improper, drawing attention amid ongoing election disputes.
