Texas Secretary of State announced on the 25th of January that some 95.000 illegal voters have been identified in Texas and as many as 58,000 of them may have voted in one or more elections. This is a heads up for all you Liberals. Your precious talking point stating "there IS no voter fraud" has just been shot in the ass by the Texas Department of Public Safety.

AUSTIN, Texas (KWTX) A yearlong investigation involving the Texas Department of Public Safety revealed that 95,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in the state and that 58,000 of them have voted in one or more elections, Secretary of State David Whitley announced Friday.

Whitley’s office oversees elections in the state.

"Integrity and efficiency of elections in Texas require accuracy of our state's voter rolls, and my office is committed to using all available tools under the law to maintain an accurate list of registered voters,” he said in a press release.

“Our agency has provided extensive training opportunities to county voter registrars so that they can properly perform list maintenance activities in accordance with federal and state law, which affords every registered voter the chance to submit proof of eligibility.”

The data from the investigation was forwarded to the Texas Attorney General’s Office, he said.

“My Election Fraud Unit stands ready to investigate and prosecute crimes against the democratic process when needed,” Attorney General Ken Paxton said.

“Every single instance of illegal voting threatens democracy in our state and deprives individual Texans of their voice,” he said.

Under Texas law, non-citizens may obtain driver’s licenses by providing proof that they’re in the state lawfully, but state law does not require verification of voters’ statements that they are citizens.

The Secretary of State’s Office plans to cross-reference information from the DPS monthly with the statewide voter registration database to find non-citizens who have registered to vote.

When that happens, the Secretary of State’s Office will notify the county in which the person is registered so the voter registrar can take action.

If that person is, in fact, not a U.S. citizen or fails to respond, then the registrar will cancel the registration.

Texas Secretary of State's Office spokesman Sam Taylor says officials "are very confident" the citizenship data used are current.

Now how ironic is that?

It's people who call themselves "Democrats" that are defrauding the "democratic" process.

Most usually Democrats sue when any state tries to clean up their rolls

Seth

Yeah, I've spent enough time in Chicago over the years to know how that works, and our former president was a telling product of that corrupt liberal political machine.

Yep. Daddy Daley set up the city and mike madigan learned from him and set up the state

My daughter is a "non-citizen" and is still registered to vote in the state of Texas even though we have repeatedly tried to get her taken off the voter rolls. A "non-citizen" is simply a once Texas citizen who has moved out of state. That the state doesn't take them off the voter rolls is the states fault--unless you are suggesting that the Republicans in Texas are committing voter fraud in order to win elections? Is that your accusation?

Honest to god, do you people not read or do you just lack the ability to comprehend that which you do read? Non-citizens are not committing voter fraud. Not in Texas and not any place else in the country...

PeterS

So when was the last lawsuit taken out by a Democrat to prevent voter rolls from being cleaned up? Be specific and please provide a link...

How did your daughter lose her citizenship upon leaving the State of Texas? There is a world of difference between non-citizen and non-resident.

Georgia. Late 2018. Who needs a link, the dems were howling all over the news and social media. Cleaning the dead and people who are no longer residents of a district is "voter suppression" to dems. HOWEVER, this post is specifically about non US citizens voting. Read it more carefully.
