The sources report that the DOJ alleges more than 400 noncitizens, many of them green-card holders, registered and voted in Washington, but this is the government's own allegation and no independent authority has verified or dismissed it.

What was said

Supports. The DOJ and its acting U.S. Attorney said they identified over 400 (405) noncitizens who are registered to vote and have voted in Washington elections, about 1,500 ballots in prior elections.[1][2][3][4]
Context. Many people on the DOJ list are lawful permanent residents (green-card holders), who are not citizens and are not permitted to vote in U.S. elections.[2][5][7]
Context. Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs questioned the DOJ's findings and said the timing of the request, one week before the election, appeared intended to cause doubt; he said his office was reviewing the request and the data.[4][6][8]
Context. No source in the set independently verifies the individual voter records or dismisses the DOJ count; the coverage largely restates the DOJ's announcement, and one outlet notes that noncitizen voting is rare according to independent reviews.[5][9]
