What we found

Context. The Fox 13 article in the sources [5] covers the Justice Department's request to set aside about 400 ballots, but the excerpt contains no immigration attorney quote about monthly cases.[1]

Context. The only attorney in the sources is Len Saunders, quoted by KIRO 7 about non-citizens unknowingly registering when getting a Washington driver's license; he is not the speaker named in the claim and gives no one-case-a-month figure.[2]

Context. Broader research sources describe noncitizen voting as rare and mostly the result of mistakes rather than fraud, but they do not address this attorney's personal caseload or statement.[3][4][5]
