What BBN said about it
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWashington's secretary of state says the Justice Department's list of about 400 suspected noncitizens includes U. S. citizens, one record from 1994, and some duplicates.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSteve Hobbs says it came as a printed spreadsheet in a PDF, with no voter ID numbers or addresses. So how does anyone check it?
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorProsecutors sent it a week before the election, so I'd call that timely. And the duplicates are a two-for-one verification offer.
