Overview

  • Heather Honey has been sworn in as a deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Homeland Security to lead elections integrity, according to The Federalist.
  • Democracy Docket and Marc Elias criticized her record, with Elias labeling her an "election conspiracy theorist" in a social media post.
  • Democracy Docket alleged she played a key role in efforts to push states to withdraw from ERIC, a characterization The Federalist contests.
  • Democracy Docket corrected a claim linking Honey and the Election Integrity Network to the IV3 voter-roll app after Cleta Mitchell said there was no affiliation.
  • The Federalist cites Honey’s prior roles with the Election Research Institute, Verity Vote, and the PA Fair Elections Coalition and reports she served as lead investigator for President Trump’s Jan. 6 trial preparation.
