Ari Hoffman @thehoffather BREAKING: Dept. of Justice identifies 405 non-citizens voting in Washington state election, potentially thousands more
US Attorney Neil Floyd announced today: "The state of Washington does not have the capacity or the will to check if non-citizens are voting…Through our investigation, we have confirmed with high confidence that non-citizens are voting in the state of Washington and federal and state elections."
"We have identified over 400 non-citizens who had voted in Washington, and many of them have voted multiple times. That means we have identified over 1500 ballots illegally cast. This is not the full number of non-citizens who have been both voting in Washington. This is only the tip of the iceberg. With a small sample that we have collected so far, we are confident that we are looking at thousands of non-citizens who have been voting in Washington."
"Washington has refused to share the complete list of registered voters with identifying information... Unfortunately, Washington is fighting in court to keep us from getting access to the full database. We may never know the full extent of illegal voting in this state without access to the full database of registered voters."
