Washington Secretary of State, Steve Hobbs, whines about efforts to require proof of citizenship to vote.

One of the DNC media outlets in Portland, KATU ran a Facebook post with the byline: 

Voting fraud is incredibly rare, and there have been 15 cases of noncitizen voting in Washington between 1982 and 2025, according to Secretary Steve Hobbs.
Horseshit. Hobbs claimed "15 prosecutions on cases" that are known.

What about the unknown cases? How could he possibly know if illegals are voting or not?

It's not like they write on their ballots, "I'm an illegal."

See, here's the total weakness of the case put forward by fringe-left scum.

How is this clown going to tell the difference between a legal vote and an ILLEGAL vote, PARTICULARLY WHEN HE NEVER LOOKS? Particularly when he NEVER CHECKS?

Prosecuting rioting leftists in Portland for the last 6 years? "Incredibly rare."

Well, that must mean rioters never attacked anyone. Never burned anything. Never looted anything. Never assaulted police or the feds. Never damaged or destroyed anything. Never blocked traffic. Never violated noise ordinances. Never vandalized anything.

Right?

Prosecuting shoplifters in Portland?

Essentially unheard of.

Well, hell... that MUST mean shoplifting is "incredibly rare" and that it's not really any kind of issue.

Right?

I mean, if you apply his "reasoning" to illegal voters, i.e., few prosecutions equal "not a problem," then you must also apply it EVERYWHERE ELSE.

Must mean all of the stores that closed because of theft, and all of the items locked up in cases in stores and locks on merchandise in the remaining stores are unnecessary.

Right?

But leftist liars in the media never do that. No mention of that sort of "incredibly rare" occurrence.

I wonder why?

I get leftist media isn't concerned about illegal voters (well, as long as they vote PROPERLY) but because leftists do not WANT proof of citizenship TO vote, that effectively means anyone in either Washington or Oregon, for example, can do it.

And to suggest they aren't is insane.

Further, if it's so rare, then why do fringe-leftists fight so hard against proving citizenship? What other alternative do they offer? Or is it, obviously, that they WANT illegals to vote?

After all, if it's "incredibly rare," as you leftist politicians assert, how could requiring proof of citizenship make any difference in actual voters voting?

The harder fringers like Hobbs fight against efforts to prove citizenship, the more obvious it is that they WANT illegals to vote, just like Obama did back in 2016 when he famously said that even if illegals voted, they typically can't be caught... an open invitation.

In the end, the claim that "prosecutions are incredibly rare" is utterly meaningless and just another effort by fringe-left pols and their media lackies to blow smoke up our asses as they insist on demanding that we accept that 2+2=5 and math is racist. The main questions Hobbs needs to answer are simple: Does he WANT illegal aliens to vote in our elections? (of course he does) And if he says "no," then what does he intend to do to make sure they don't, followed by, why hasn't he acted to implement that plan (which he does not have?)

Leftist billionaire and state elected corruption. Caught in the act. UPDATED:UPDATED:UPDATED Billionaire effort to strip the initiatives off the ballot.

UPDATED:UPDATED:UPDATED Billionaire effort to strip the initiatives off the ballot.

It would seem that a leftist group of billionaires, including Nick Hanauer, Bill Gates and Steve Balmer, funded 2 separate lawsuits against the Washington Secretary of State to have the Lets Go Washington initiatives taken off the ballot this November.

The case made it all the way to the State Supreme Court and neither Secretary of State Steve Hobbs nor Sideshow Bobby Ferguson, the Attorney General and governor wannabe, never told anyone.

it would seem that the suits blasted through from a superior court to the court of appeals and then to the Supreme Court without public notice and without notifying Let's Go Washington, the organization behind the initiatives.

If a reporter researching another case and stumbling across THIS case hadn't found out, and then called Brian Heywood, who organized and funded the LGW effort to ask for comment, they NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN until it was over.

The claims were, apparently, that the process used to determine signature validity was "flawed."

The Court, for their part, and stunningly enough, voted unanimously to throw out both lawsuits, and the measures will remain on the ballot.

It is unknown how this could have been kept so quiet beyond the likelihood that @letsgowa was not a party to the suit, or why neither Hobbs or Sideshow never said anything... even though we all know the most dangerous place on earth is the space between Sideshow and social media.

But we can guess.

The measures are I-2066, stopping the natural gas ban, I-2109 repealing the capitol gains tax, I-2117, ending the hidden gas tax AND I-2124, opting out of the state's mandatory state-run long term health care coverage act.

This is an absolute example of leftist corruption.

This apparently just broke at 7:00 pm tonite (Friday).
