Secretary of State Steve Hobbs has a simple response to President Donald Trump’s executive order on election integrity: “Washington鈥檚 elections are secure, transparent, and built on the work of experienced state and local officials who are committed to upholding the integrity and accessibility of our election process.”

Trump an executive order this week that includes requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and directs election officials to record and verify citizenship. But it also requires all votes to be received by Election Day, which Hobbs noted “directly conflicts with Washington law.”

Hobbs, a Democrat, the president’s order “could jeopardize” the process of preserving the “free, fair, and accessible voting system that Washingtonians have come to trust.”

“This executive order undermines decades of bipartisan work that has made Washington鈥檚 elections a national model,” he said in a statement. “The Office of the Secretary of State will work closely with the Washington Attorney General鈥檚 Office to defend our state鈥檚 authority under the U.S. Constitution and ensure that every eligible Washingtonian can continue to make their voice heard.鈥�

WAGOP jumps into the mix

Concurrent to the president’s executive order, the Republican National Committee, with the partnership of the Washington State Republican Party (WAGOP), is asking secretaries of state “to provide detailed methodology on how each state maintains its voter databases.”

WAGOP Chairman Jim Walsh previously asked the Trump administration to order an audit of the state’s “Motor Voter Law.” He contends it’s a “dubious practice of automatically registering to vote anyone who applies for or renews a driver鈥檚 license鈥攅ven if they are NOT in the United States legally.”
