Can't be overstated just how deeply Republicans oppose (a) merit in employment; (b) functional government; and (c) the notion Americans have any shared interests. That's why they don't even feel a tension between "being a bigot" and "undermining national security." To them, the latter is irrelevant.

This is a blatantly unconstitutional threat. The executive branch has zero constitutional power to tell states how to run their elections - zero. Nor does DHS have the constitutional power to threaten state and local officials with jail time if they fail to abide by the executive branch’s demands.
