Here is a headline you don’t see often: Group tries to combat underage voting in Washington state.

The story notes that multiple underage people were improperly registered to vote:

“they found evidence of several individuals who, since 2006, were only 16-years-old when they registered. ‘We found dozens and dozens of illegal voters and underage voters, so clearly there is a problem here; We felt it was a violation of federal election law that says that Sam Reed has to maintain an accurate election data base.’  Even with the written policy in place now, Reitz says the ideas behind the early registration were bologna. ‘The secretary of state’s office literally argued that if we turn these underage applicants away, they will be so devastated and discouraged that they may never vote again.'”

What about the law?

That federal election law in question would be the Help America Vote Act and/or Section 8 of Motor Voter. Will the Department of Justice make any inquiry at all of how bad the problem was in Washington?  Will anyone quantify if any of these people voted?
