Wire reporting: (AP, via Anchorage Daily News)

The Justice Department asked Washington state election officials to set aside hundreds of ballots it says may belong to noncitizen voters, days before the midterm election, ABC News reported1.

Federal prosecutors in the state said in a Monday statement that more than 400 people on a list were only the tip of the iceberg, accompanying a letter from the state's two U.S. attorneys; ABC News said it had not seen the letter1.

State officials said publicizing the allegation so close to the election was intended to create unfounded suspicion1.

ABC News said the Washington messaging echoed a lawsuit filed last week against California over more than 20,000 ballots1. A federal appeals court declined to intervene in that case, ABC reported1,8,9.

Whether any of the listed Washington ballots are from ineligible voters was not independently verified in the cited coverage1.
