True86% confidence8 sourcesOct 27, 2026The Department of Justice has provided the state of Washington with a list of names of non-citizens who have allegedly voted in elections.Said by AMultiple tier-1 sources (AP, Reuters, and a DOJ press release) confirm that the Justice Department sent Washington's Secretary of State a list of more than 400 people it alleges are noncitizens who voted or are registered to vote, and the claim's word 'allegedly' matches that framing. Secretary of State Hobbs disputes the list's reliability and says it includes U.S. citizens, but he confirms receipt and does not deny the DOJ provided it, so this dispute does not defeat the claim as worded.True85% confidence8 sourcesOct 27, 2026Washington State Secretary of State Steve Hobbs stated that there have been 15 instances of non-citizens voting in Washington state between 1982 and 2025.Said by 2CMultiple sources, including a direct Fox 13 quote of Hobbs saying there were 15 incidences of noncitizen voting from 1982 to 2025, confirm the claim as stated. The claim matches the post's own quotation of Hobbs, so it does not depart from the passage.True85% confidence6 sourcesOct 27, 2026Paige Adamson, a Canadian green card holder living in Point Roberts, Washington, was accused by federal immigration officials of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship and voting in U.S. elections.Said by AMultiple reports, including KING 5 and the Seattle Times, state that federal immigration officials accused Paige Adamson, a Canadian citizen and U.S. green card holder living in Point Roberts, Washington, of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship and illegally voting, citing DHS documents and a Notice to Appear. The claim concerns the accusation, not its truth, and Adamson denies knowingly voting; she died in October before her scheduled hearing.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True60% confidence4 sourcesOct 27, 2026Washington State allows individuals to register to vote when applying for a driver's license by attesting to their citizenship status.Said by AWashington's Department of Licensing says residents can register to vote in person during a driver licensing transaction, and Snohomish County and the Secretary of State describe registration as a signed attestation of U.S. citizenship. The sources do not explicitly describe the 'little circle' checkbox, but the core assertion holds as of 2026-10-27.True60% confidence4 sourcesOct 27, 2026An immigration attorney stated on Fox 13 that he has seen 15 cases of non-citizens voting in the last two weeks.Said by 2DSource [6] (KOMO, 2026-10-30) quotes immigration attorney Len Saunders saying he has seen at least 15 cases of registration resulting in actual noncitizen voting in the last two weeks, which matches the claimed statement. No source confirms that he said it on Fox 13; the Fox 13 article [3] covers a California case and does not carry the quote, and the KOMO and FrontPage pieces [6][7] are the only records of the statement. The Fox 13 venue is unconfirmed rather than contradicted, so the verdict rests on the statement itself.True90% confidence7 sourcesOct 27, 2026The Department of Justice provided the Washington Secretary of State with a list of 405 non-citizens who allegedly voted in Washington state.Said by AThe DOJ provided Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs with a list of 405 people it alleges are noncitizens who voted, as shown by the DOJ's own press release, CBS, and AP reporting. Hobbs disputes the list's accuracy, saying it includes citizens, but that dispute concerns the list's reliability, not whether it was provided, and the claim's word 'allegedly' already reflects that the allegations are unproven.True55% confidence8 sourcesOct 27, 2026The Democracy Renewal Group and other organizations held Zoom meetings with officials to plan responses to potential election scenarios.Said by AMultiple 2026 outlets report recordings of Zoom calls in which Democracy Renewal Group figures planned responses to a possible election-legitimacy crisis, which supports the core of the claim. The claim that these meetings included officials is thinly sourced and no independent fact-checker has examined it, so confidence is moderate.True95% confidence4 sourcesOct 27, 2026Steve Hobbs is the Secretary of State for Washington.Said by AOn 2026-10-27, Steve Hobbs was Washington's Secretary of State, as shown by a Reuters report that day, the official state biography published 2026-09-27, and a Seattle Times report on 2026-10-28. The claim matches the passage, which refers to Steve Hobbs as the Secretary of State. The AP 2022 article is consistent with this, showing he won election to the office that year.True55% confidence3 sourcesOct 27, 2026Steve Hobbs participated in a Zoom meeting titled 'Thriving Together Washington State Civic Innovation Form'.Said by AOne source directly addresses the event: a Seattle Red opinion column (unrated, partisan) says Secretary of State Steve Hobbs participated in a virtual meeting of the Thriving Together Washington State Civic Innovation Forum in early September. The claim's 'Form' matches the post's spoken wording, and the source's 'Forum' is a minor difference, and the Zoom detail is a peripheral one the source does not contradict. No source contradicts the claim, but the support rests on a single low-credibility source.True93% confidence5 sourcesOct 27, 2026Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs issued a statement claiming the DOJ's request for voter information one week before the general election is intended to cast unfounded suspicion on the results.Said by AMultiple reliable outlets quote Secretary of State Steve Hobbs saying the DOJ request's timing, one week before the General Election, 'is no doubt intended to cast unfounded suspicion on the results.' The extracted claim matches that quoted statement, and the sources do not contradict it.Reported in the post, not stated as its own.True60% confidence3 sourcesOct 27, 2026Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs participated in a Zoom meeting with left-wing activist organizations discussing the transition of government and potential citizen uprisings.Said by AMultiple sources, including a Seattle Red column and a Fresh Take-style recording report, say Hobbs joined a virtual meeting where Danielle Reiff of Democracy Renewal Group discussed a cross-partisan transitional government and election-emergency scenarios. The core participation claim is supported, but the sources describe election-emergency and transition scenarios rather than 'citizen uprisings' in those words, and the reporting is from partisan or unrated outlets.True95% confidence8 sourcesOct 27, 2026Microsoft is offering voluntary exit buyouts to 60,000 employees.Multiple tier-1 and tier-2 sources (Reuters, AP, Bloomberg, CBS News, CNBC) report that on October 26, 2026, Microsoft offered voluntary buyouts to about 60,000 employees, roughly a quarter of its workforce. The claim matches the passage's wording and the record as of 2026-10-27; the sources describe eligibility as about 60,000 people, so the figure is approximate rather than a confirmed number of acceptances.
