The Thurston County Voter Research Project has filed 28 challenges with Hall’s office since June.
THURSTON COUNTY, Wash. — Election skeptics are trying a new tactic to uncover cases ofin Washington. They’ve filed formal voter registration challenges against dozens of voters that they suspect could be illegally registered.
Washington’s vote-by-mail system requires voters to register the address where they live. In 2021, VRP informed Thurston County Elections it identified 2,164 voter registration anomalies in county records and that it was visiting addresses. The challenge to Donovan’s mother-in-law went to a hearing in July presided over by the auditor and other officials. VRP presented its evidence, and a member of the elections staff reported on information that she collected in the months since the challenge was filed.
VRP has filed 28 challenges this year. Of nine hearings so far, 5 challenges have been sustained. Four cases, including Donovan’s mother-in-law, have been denied. “We have not found any instance where somebody has voted illegally or there’s something nefarious going on,” said Hall. Clabaugh is a certified fraud examiner and former investigator for the State of Washington. Like many of VRP’s volunteers, he was motivated by Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election. “I think there’s ample evidence of irregularities in states like Arizona, Minnesota Georgia,” Clabaugh said.
