华盛顿州瑟斯顿县奥林匹亚市华盛顿州务卿霍布斯10月28日驳回司法部选票要求：称约400人名单“严重缺陷、不可靠”含美国公民
华盛顿州瑟斯顿县奥林匹亚市消息，华盛顿州务卿史蒂夫·霍布斯10月28日公开回应美国司法部的要求，拒绝按对方要求不计约400名选民的选票，并称司法部提供的名单“严重缺陷、不可靠”，其中包括美国公民。司法部方面此前表示，根据公民身份核查，有约400人“似乎非法登记投票”，并要求州政府在确认公民身份和投票资格前先将这些选票搁置。西华盛顿联邦代理检察官尼尔·弗洛伊德称这份名单“只是冰山一角”，司法部将继续调查。霍布斯在10月28日致司法部的信中指出，司法部只提供了PDF文件和打印的电子表格，而非电子版数据，州政府难以核查；他还指出，司法部来信中把选举日误写为2026年11月2日，而实际投票日是11月3日，说明这项要求仓促出台。霍布斯对距离投票日仅剩约一周时提出这一要求表示“深感失望”。与此同时，司法部在加州提出的类似要求已于10月28日被一名联邦法官驳回，该案涉及约2万张选票。华盛顿州已有数百万选民投出11月3日大选选票。
Olympia, Thurston County, Washington: Secretary of State Hobbs Rejects DOJ Ballot Request on October 28, Calling List of About 400 Voters 'Deeply Flawed' and 'Not Reliable,' with U.S. Citizens Included
In Olympia, Thurston County, Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs responded on October 28 to a U.S. Department of Justice request, refusing to set aside the ballots of about 400 voters as requested and calling the DOJ-provided list 'deeply flawed' and 'not reliable,' noting that it includes United States citizens. The Justice Department had said that, based on citizenship checks, about 400 people 'appear to be illegally registered to vote,' and asked the state to set those ballots aside until citizenship and eligibility are confirmed. Acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington Neil Floyd called the list 'only the tip of the iceberg' and said the department will continue to investigate. In his October 28 letter to the DOJ, Hobbs noted that the department provided only a PDF document and a printed spreadsheet rather than electronic data, making verification difficult; he also pointed out that the DOJ letter misstated Election Day as November 2, 2026, when the actual date is November 3, indicating the request was rushed. Hobbs said he was 'profoundly disappointed' by the timing of the request, about a week before Election Day. Meanwhile, a similar DOJ request in California, involving about 20,000 ballots, was rejected by a federal judge on October 28. Millions of Washington voters have already cast ballots for the November 3 general election.
