Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs and Attorney General Nick Brown have announced a joint lawsuit with the state of Oregon against the Trump administration for it’s Executive Order regarding elections and voting rights.
At a press conference in Seattle last week, Hobbs and Brown outlined the ways the executive order attempts to control Washington’s election processes. The state’s lawsuit says, the executive order “harms States by purporting to override the state’s sovereign laws governing the counting of votes and voter registration, imposing substantial costs on States to change state voting system and laws, and disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of State residents.”
Washington’s Office of the Secretary of State oversees areas within state government including managing state elections.
