The act of voting remains the same — fill out a ballot and turn it in. Democracy, simple and elegant.
Election Day isn’t until Tuesday, but with changes to how the U.S. Postal Service processes postmarks, election officials are adamant that if you have not yet voted, you should use a ballot drop box, not a mailbox.
Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs, a Democrat who oversees the state’s voter rolls and has clashed with the Trump administration, dismissed the new list of 400 alleged noncitizens. He said a preliminary review showed the list included both U.S. citizens and people who were not registered to vote in Washington.
The DOJ is sending election monitors to at least two counties in Washington — King and Yakima — to observe ballot processing, voting centers and drop boxes.
