The claim faithfully paraphrases Neil Floyd's statement that DOJ got about 800 leads from DHS, so it is graded as made. The sources confirm DOJ received a DHS list and identified about 405 alleged noncitizen voters, but none states a figure of about 800 leads, so the number is neither confirmed nor contradicted.
What was said
… So everybody that we have confirmed, first of all, I should back up. I mean, we didn't just fire and forget on this stuff. We got about 800 leads from DHS, uhm, and there's actually probably more than that, but instead of going out and starting to make accusations and throwing out large numbers, we did our research, and we, you know, dug into it. …
unDivided with Brandi Kruse · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. A Yahoo/Washington secretary of state report says the DOJ letter stated it received a list from DHS of potential noncitizens who allegedly voted, and that a second DHS list was expected. It gives no count of leads.[3]
Context. AP reports DOJ identified 405 voters, with 1,500 votes cast, and Floyd called them 'the tip of the iceberg.' This is a count of identified voters, not the number of leads received from DHS.[1]
Context. Washington Secretary of State Hobbs says the federal list is unreliable and includes U.S. citizens, so the DHS-derived figures are disputed. This does not address the number of leads.[2]
