PoliticsTrump administration seeks to set aside hundreds of Washington ballots over alleged noncitizen voters

The Trump administration asked Washington state to hold ballots from more than 400 people it alleges registered to vote without US citizenship, pending checks of their eligibility. Secretary of State Steve Hobbs said he was reviewing the request and called its timing an apparent attempt to cast unfounded suspicion on the results. The move comes amid competitive midterm races that could determine control of Congress.
