DOJ asks Washington to set aside ballots from 400 alleged noncitizens

Federal prosecutors said they sent a letter to the Washington secretary of state with a list of 400 people they claimed are not U.S. citizens.

What the coverage shows

All three outlets frame the story as a Justice Department push to have ballots set aside based on alleged noncitizenship, and CBS News and PBS NewsHour both emphasize the Washington list of about 400 people. The only notable divergence is 60 Minutes, which recasts the piece as a DOJ lawsuit over California and adds that a federal judge will rule on it, while CBS News and PBS NewsHour stick to Washington. PBS NewsHour alone quotes the DOJ's broader claim that the 400 cases are just the "tip of the iceberg."
