US attorneys allege 405 non-citizens voted in Washington; secretary of state pushes back
Hobbs cites 15 such cases since 1982 and says the pre-election announcement is meant to 'cast unfounded suspicion on the results'
Federal prosecutors in Washington state alleged Monday that 405 non-citizens have registered to vote and cast more than 1,500 ballots in the state's elections, while Secretary of State Steve Hobbs called the announcement, made one week before the general election, an attempt to 'cast unfounded suspicion on the results.'
