Washington officials reject DOJ non-citizen voter list

Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs and other state officials on 31 October rejected the Justice Department’s request to set aside ballots for more than 400 alleged non-citizen voters, calling the federal list unreliable and saying it mixes U. S. citizens and inactive registrants. They said they will not discard ballots without individual proof of ineligibility.

The Acting U. S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington had earlier accused state officials of failing to verify citizenship, while the Justice Department reported that investigators found over 400 non-citizens on voter rolls and about 1,500 ballots cast by them. The department had previously asked Washington to withhold those ballots pending eligibility verification and announced a press conference in Seattle to release its findings.

摘要

The claim that the Justice Department reported over 400 noncitizens on Washington voter rolls and about 1,500 instances of ballots cast by these individuals has insufficient evidence. The assertion by State leaders that instances of non-citizens registering to vote in Washington are rare also lacks sufficient evidence. The Justice Department's allegation of hundreds of suspected violations of non-citizens registering to vote in Washington is partially confirmed.
