Justice Department Asks Washington State to Set Aside 400 Ballots

The Trump administration asked Washington state to set aside ballots received from over 400 people it suspects registered to vote without U.S. citizenship.

In a letter to the Washington Secretary of State's Office, the Justice Department cited 1,500 votes cast by those individuals in prior elections.

Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs noted his office is reviewing the demand while balancing requirements to protect voter information and follow due process.
