Trump administration asks Washington state to set aside ballots from 400 voters it says may be noncitizens

The Trump administration and the DOJ have requested that Washington state set aside ballots from 400 voters identified as potential noncitizens. This action represents the latest effort by the administration to identify noncitizen voters, despite such occurrences being exceptionally rare. The move is viewed as an attempt by the federal government to involve itself in the ballot counting and certification processes, which are typically managed exclusively by state officials within the United States.
