Trump Administration Requests Washington to Set Aside Ballots from Suspected Noncitizen Voters
The Trump administration has urged Washington state officials to set aside over 400 ballots from voters it claims may be noncitizens. Federal prosecutors allege that more than 400 noncitizens registered and voted in Washington elections, prompting a call for legal scrutiny on these ballots. The U.S. Attorney has indicated that they found evidence of potential voter fraud but has not provided specific charges or documentation to support these claims. State officials, including Washington Secretary of State Hobbs, have disputed the data and expressed concern that these allegations cast unfounded suspicion on the integrity of the electoral process.
