Why it matters

The stakes turn on whether readers accept that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin is threatening election officials who refuse to help the Trump administration. That point shapes the political meaning of the story.

Common ground

The clearest point to anchor on is this: Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin is threatening election officials who refuse to help the Trump administration.
