President Donald Trump’s administration is threatening to withhold some federal funding from states that don’t make changes to voting practices and is warning state election officials that they face arrest if they don’t remove noncitizens from voter rolls. Letters to states and grant application details are the latest in a line of actions by Trump’s administration to shape details of running elections that have long been the job of states.

The Department of Justice threatened to take legal action over supposed noncitizen voters.

The head of the DOJ's civil rights division is warning state election officials of "potential criminal penalties" for those who fail to keep noncitizens from voting.
