各州必须采用纸质选票、人工审计和SAVE数据库公民身份核查，方可获得2026年拨款资金
作者：查尔斯·克莱茨，福克斯新闻
参议院共和党人推动通过《拯救美国法案》，要求选民登记时提供美国公民身份证明。尽管唐纳德·特朗普总统施加了压力，但由于民主党反对，共和党仍难以争取到必要的60票。福克斯新闻记者查德·珀格勒姆从国会山就这场持续的辩论进行现场报道，凯莉·麦克纳尼则介绍了该法案获得公众广泛支持的情况。同时，国土安全部关键拨款投票也迫在眉睫。

福克斯新闻独家首发：美国国土安全部将扣留拒绝采纳新选举安全措施的州的数十亿美元备灾拨款资金，这些措施包括选民公民身份核查、选举后审计以及扩大纸质选票的使用。
此番行动之际，唐纳德·特朗普总统和许多共和党人抨击那些不愿让联邦政府审计选民名册的州，同时也批评加利福尼亚等地缓慢且广受诟病的计票流程。
作为国土安全部下属机构的联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）将向有意参与其国土安全拨款项目的州提供超过10亿美元的纳税人资金，但附带条件。

要获得拨款资格，各州必须提交计划，逐步淘汰使用二维码或条形码而非人工填写纸质选票的“不安全电子投票系统”。
该机构表示，通过此举可提供纸质记录，以便快速评估任何指称的违规行为。
在每次联邦选举后，申请备灾拨款的州必须对至少5%的已投选票进行人工审计——该机构认为，人工随机核查将确认投票机器计票结果与纸质选票相符，并识别任何“操纵行为”。
各州还必须将选举参与者人数与已投选票数量进行比对，并且在获得拨款后的120天内，使用SAVE数据库——该系统因多名非法移民卡车司机卷入致命车祸而受到关注——核查州内每位登记选民的公民身份。
SAVE即“系统性外来人员资格核查系统”，一些民主党州长批评该系统维护不足——国土安全部否认了这一说法。

国土安全部告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，选举系统面临的威胁持续演变，部长马克韦恩·马尔林将关键基础设施保护列为首要任务，一位发言人表示，选举属于此类关键基础设施，且仍易受到外国攻击。
“在特朗普总统的领导下，我们正在采取果断行动，保护选举系统免受外国干预、内部威胁和网络攻击等威胁，”国土安全部一位发言人表示。“这些针对国土安全拨款受助方的新要求将维护选举诚信，确保美国人能够信任选举结果。”
就在这些新规则出台之际，特朗普政府在试图推动选举安全问题时遭遇了重大法庭失利。

法官凯西·比斯松裁定，联邦政府无权要求获取“高度敏感的”州级信息——此前宾夕法尼亚州务卿阿尔·施密特，这位由民主党州长乔希·夏皮罗任命的费城共和党人，在去年秋季拒绝交出数据的要求。

据《费城问询报》报道，施密特曾提出提供经过编辑的州选民档案，但不包含敏感数据，并在给司法部的回复中称，这种“大范围数据收集”是“令人担忧的试图扩大联邦政府在我国选举进程中角色的行为”。
国土安全部的新策略是否会面临类似的法律挑战尚不得而知。

DHS plans costly crackdown on states that don’t cooperate on election security
July 9, 2026 7:01pm EDT / Fox News
States must adopt paper ballots, manual audits and SAVE database citizenship verification to qualify for 2026 grant funding
By Charles Creitz, Fox News
Senate Republicans push to pass the ‘Save America Act,’ requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration. Despite President Trump’s urging, the GOP struggles to secure the necessary 60 votes due to Democratic opposition. Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram reports live from Capitol Hill on the ongoing debate, while Kayleigh McEnany highlights the bill’s significant public support. A critical DHS funding vote also looms.

FIRST ON FOX: The Department of Homeland Security will withhold billions in preparedness grant funding from states that refuse to adopt new election-security measures, including voter citizenship verification, post-election audits and expanded use of paper ballots.
The push comes as President Donald Trump and many Republicans slam states that do not want to let the federal government audit their voter rolls, while also criticizing the snail’s-pace, widely criticized vote tabulations in places like California.
FEMA, a sub-agency of DHS, is making more than $1 billion in taxpayer funding available to states that want to participate in its Homeland Security Grant Program, but with a catch.

To qualify for grants, states must submit plans to transition away from “unsecure electronic voting systems” that employ QR codes or barcodes instead of hand-marked paper ballots.
By doing so, the agency said, it provides a paper trail to quickly assess any alleged irregularities.
After each federal election, states seeking preparedness grants must conduct a manual audit of at least 5% of all ballots cast – with the agency arguing a manual, random review will confirm voting-machine tabulations’ synthesis with paper ballots and identify any “manipulation.”
States must also match the number of voters who participated in the election with the number of ballots cast and, within 120 days of any grant award, use the SAVE database — brought to the fore amid numerous illegal immigrant truckers getting in fatal crashes — to verify the citizenship of every listed voter in the state.
SAVE, the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements system, has been criticized by some Democratic governors for being insufficiently upkept – an assertion DHS has denied.

DHS told Fox News Digital that threats to election systems continue to evolve and that Secretary Markwayne Mullin has made critical infrastructure protection a top priority, with a spokesperson suggesting elections fall within that critical infrastructure and remain susceptible to foreign attacks.
“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are taking decisive action to protect election systems from threats like foreign interference, insider threats, and cyberattacks,” the DHS spokesperson said. “These new requirements for homeland security grant recipients will preserve election integrity and ensure that Americans can trust the results.”
The new rules come as the Trump administration suffered a major loss in court while seeking to force the issue of election security.

Judge Cathy Bissoon ruled the feds lack authority to demand “highly sensitive” state information – after Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt, a Philadelphia Republican appointed by Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, balked at a demand to turn over data last fall.

Schmidt reportedly offered a redacted version of the state voter file without the sensitive data, telling the DOJ in his response that such “broad data” collection is a “concerning attempt to expand the federal government’s role in our country’s election process,” according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
DHS’ new tact may or may not be tested in a similar fashion.
