Washington state secretary of state fires back at DOJ over noncitizen voter claim: 'Profoundly disappointing'
Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs shot back at the Department of Justice (DOJ) for asking him to order his election officials to set aside ballots for hundreds of people the federal government identified as alleged non-U.S. citizens.
What the coverage shows
Newsweek is the only outlet here to frame the story around conservative activists James O’Keefe and Cam Higby facing felony charges over conduct at Minnesota polling places, while Ben Shapiro’s headline instead centers on the DOJ charging 48 noncitizens for voter fraud. The two headlines diverge sharply in who is foregrounded and in the legal framing, with no overlap in their emphasis beyond voter fraud charges.
