USDOJ Asks Washington to Withhold Ballots
The Justice Department asked Washington state to pause counting ballots from over 400 residents flagged as possible noncitizens. State officials face a Wednesday deadline before potential federal legal action.
The United States Justice Department asked Washington state on Sunday afternoon to halt the counting of mail ballots from 400 residents flagged as possible noncitizens. The demand mirrors a similar directive in California targeting 20,000 alleged noncitizen voters ahead of the November 3 midterms. The intervention escalates federal pressure on state election officials as political parties battle for control of Congress.
