Overview

• Honey is listed on a DHS organizational chart as deputy assistant secretary for election integrity within the Office of Strategy, Policy and Plans.
• The department has not detailed her duties, though the role typically shapes policy, liaises with the White House, and can involve access to classified election‑security intelligence.
• Election experts and officials, including Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and CEIR’s David Becker, warn the hire could erode trust and deter states from sharing information.
• Her record includes disputed analyses cited in efforts to challenge 2020 results, participation in Arizona’s Maricopa County audit, and work with Cleta Mitchell on rule‑change campaigns.
• The appointment coincides with cuts to DHS/CISA election‑security capacity, DOJ’s rollback of a foreign influence program, and administration pushes targeting mail voting and machines, while conservative outlets defend Honey’s selection.
