Washington state secretary of state fires back at DOJ over noncitizen voter claim: ‘Profoundly disappointing’

Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs rebuked the Department of Justice for demanding he set aside ballots of hundreds of alleged noncitizens, calling the request 'profoundly disappointing.' In a Wednesday letter, Hobbs said the DOJ provided no individualized proof of ineligibility, and he refused to comply, citing the risk of disenfranchising eligible voters.
