My guess is......Nothing Burger

The methodology is flawed and two distinct databases will have their own errors

See one of the other 3 threads on this for commentary.

Texas has one of (if not the) most restrictive voter ID laws in the nation. Crying voter fraud in Texas is silly.

When the courts won't allow a State to verify citizenship when someone registers, this is what you get. It's that simple.

.

And that is happening? 95,000 times?

Really?

Tens of millions all over the country, SCOTUS ruled a State can NOT require proof of citizenship for registration. It goes against motor voter laws. Thank you wild willie.

.

Which SCOTUS decision is that

Supreme Court denies states’ request for proof of voter citizenship

.

 

[OKTexas]

When it comes to claims of voter fraud by the right the past suggests that it's a bullshit excuse for voter suppression. Texas will never offer proof of this claim,

When it's verified they will be prosecuted, TX has prosecuted almost 200 cases in the last few years. On gal that lived in the Dallas area got 8 years, then she can look forward to being deported.

.

and she registered as a republican, and she voted in the republican primary...

You don't register for a party in TX, but yes she did vote republican and she's in jail where she belongs. TX prosecuted 35 cases of non-citizen voting last year, with many more to come. I hope they jail every damn one of them. I'm interested in election integrity, whoever violates it needs to pay the price.

.

I felt sorry for her... She was not an illegal if memory serves, she was here legally...

married to an American citizen, for over 10 years, with 2 children with him....

it was puzzling to me at the time... Why she hadn't sought her citizenship?

I don't feel the least bit sorry for her, she knew she was breaking the law.

2019 should be the year all voter fraud is eliminated and replaced by fraud proof blockchain system

Dont be so hard on yourself liar. Everyone needs a break.

I'm just supporting the facts released by the Texas Secretary of State, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and a legitimate ABC affiliate news source.

You're the one trying to spread the lie that it's not true. That makes me honest, and you a lying puke.

Youre spreading a lie now. I never said the OP wasnt true. I just pointed out that repubs run the state.

So how was it some "Republicans" who lobbied to hook them up with driver's licenses and voter registration?

Especially since that's been an ongoing campaign led by Democrats in several other states. This is common knowledge.

Who said repubs lobbied? They just signed them up according to the article.

Where did the article say that "Republicans" signed them up? Have you even been to a driver's license bureau? Do you have any idea how the majority of them are completely staffed with Democrats?

The state is run by Republicans.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The article is about legal immigrants. Not illegals.

I will wait and see what further developments arise in the days ahead.

Non-citizens voting...illegals voting...you make a distinction huh?

Of course there is a distinction. A legal immigrant has an ID, thus making it easier to vote if they are registered.

I will wait for more information.

I've always said the problem is with voter registration, not a lack of Voter ID at the polls.

As usual, I can see you’re trying to miss the point… Why the fuck should anybody who can’t legally vote be registered to vote?

A legal immigrant's ID is an I-551 card which is not a valid ID for voting.

Once again, proof of massive voter fraud. We all know the Dims will continue to maintain that voter fraud doesn't happen:

95,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in Texas, state officials discover

About 95,000 non-citizens are registered to vote in Texas, and more than half of those have cast ballots in at least one election, Texas Secretary of State David Whitley announced on Friday. Whitley's office, along with the Texas Department of Public Safety, had been investigating possible voter fraud for the last year, according to a news release. Of the 95,000 non-citizens registered, 58,000 have voted in one or more elections since 1996.​

Massive fraud ? Ten cases a year since 2005 and they don't even say who they were. It could have been Gov.Rick Perry voting twice for himself or anyone.
From your article;
The attorney general's office has prosecuted 130 cases of voter fraud since 2005.

You are functionally illiterate. Get some help!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Is there proof they voted for repubs or is that just your best guess?

The point is voter fraud is a felony.
You think some migrant workers are gonna risk a huge fine and/or prison time
just to vote for some Democrats who probably don't care about them anyway ?

What makes you think they care if they know they will likely never be caught?

Texas Finds 95,000 Non-US Citizens Registered To Vote
--
58,000 Have Actually Voted...​

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/timoth...T1vALlR0pYq3A8
By Timothy Meads -- On Friday January 25, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that 95,000 individuals registered to vote in the Lone Star State have been identified as "Non-US Citizens," meaning they are illegally registered to vote. Further evidence brought forth by Texas Secretary of State David Whitely confirms that 58,000 of these individuals have broken the law and voted in "one or more" recent elections.... “Every single instance of illegal voting threatens democracy in our state and deprives individual Texans of their voice," AG Paxton said in a statement. "My Election Fraud Unit stands ready to investigate and prosecute crimes against the democratic process when needed." According to a press release issued by the Attorney General's office, while non-US citizens are legally allowed to obtain driver's licenses and other forms of ID, "only citizens are eligible to vote." Furthermore, the Sec. of State's office notes that "Voting in an election in which the person knows he or she is not eligible to vote is a second-degree felony in the State of Texas. "
"Nothing is more vital to preserving our Constitution than the integrity of our voting process, and my office will do everything within its abilities to solidify trust in every election in the state of Texas. I applaud Secretary of State Whitley for his proactive work in safeguarding our elections," AG Paxton added.

Why isn't this breaking news by the biased MSM? Indeed, the Progressive Marxist Socialist Leftist media wont cover for one simple reason.... they are Democrats.
The Texas investigation is just scratching the surface. What are the odds that 100% of them voted Democratic? And how many are in the States of CA, NY, IL, FL, WA and OR?
The PMS Dem Left want wide Open Border without protection while They Fortify heir Own Mansions with Tall Walls. Others probably are Drug and Human Trafficking for Profits. Like Hillary they`ll do anything for Profits Their Sole motivation to be in Politics, even Importation of Violent Criminals are big Money Makers for Attorneys in every Specialty.

If they know of these many people, can you imagine the actual true number? California? Other states that ENCOURAGE this sort of thing? There's your 2 million votes that supposedly gave Hillary her popular vote edge, and probably beat Romney, McCain, and put Obama in office.

Lying and cheating are the only tools for success the Left has.

One estimate was 13% of voters in heavily Hispanic districts like those around San Antonio and parts of Houston and Dallas. In California it's an easy assumption they number in the million + numbers, probably 2-3 million. Illinois is a big illegal alien meccas, as is New York City and now New Orleans and Atlanta, and of course Florida, so we all four of the largest states with significant numbers of criminal illegal voters and a criminal syndicate active in getting them to the polls.

If those folks have a green card, then they are paying taxes. Maybe if they are paying taxes, they should have a say in who represents them in the government that sets the taxes and makes the laws they live under.
Just a thought.

If you ever had a thought it would die from loneliness.

People in Puerto Rico pay local taxes but they do not get to vote in presidential elections. The same is true in Guam. What makes illegals better than US citizens, dumbass?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Texas sounds rather dysfunctional, one would think they would be on top of this, did they just relocate next to Mexico?

Is there ANY aspect of America that actually meets your satisfaction?

Is there any aspect of american society that has ever lived up to america's own lofty rhetoric? I can't pretend to believe in untruths for the comfort of others.

Rationalization / cop out. Expected of you. How could your own beliefs POSSIBLY bring any comfort to any other? That is the height of hubris. Name me ANY country that has ever lived up to its own lofty rhetoric? NONE I can think of unless their ideals are pretty low. But I prefer a country which sets it goals higher than it can reach, so long as it is always reaching, and the American people are, that is, the ones that actually contribute and seek self-actualization rather than just sit around mewling like a baby blaming the world for their own inadequacies.

America runs on rationalization, always has. No other way to achieve that "exceptionalist" mindset. Then the argument always wilts into, "well yeah but everyone else was doing it too". Fair enough. America is just another nation state on the planet currently. It too shall pass.

You are welcome to take the nearest exit at your earliest opportunity. I'll bet Venezuela could you use you socialist talents!

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

95,000? Holy Shit!

That's a lot of Pope poop....

They never mentioned what type of election they voted in.

Does it matter, dumbass?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

When it comes to claims of voter fraud by the right the past suggests that it's a bullshit excuse for voter suppression. Texas will never offer proof of this claim,

What kind of proof are you looking for? How about we turn over the voting information to ICE and have them immediately deported?

Every state has the same problem it seems like anymore

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

What kind of proof are you looking for?

Probably the same evidence the Secretary of State of Texas's office is looking for, when they say they don't know for a fact that these 95,000 people are undocumented immigrants.

See? Even you cannot defend it. "But look at Venezuela"!

Well, we, the US, are down there destabilizing Venezuela and trying to topple their govt for tossing out US energy corporations.

Nah, but that's what it is supposed to seem like so we can roll back voting rights.

 

[Kilroy2]

Sam Taylor, a spokesman for the secretary of state, said the announcement on Friday did not mean that the authorities had discovered 95,000 registered voters who it knew for a fact were noncitizens.

Instead, the office was advising local officials to ask these voters via mail to provide proof of their citizenship.

To vote in Texas, you must be registered by the state

what they will find out is state employees making mistakes

Texas hasn't had a democrat governor since 1995

Clinton was the last president that won the state

still they have not found voter fraud they are just looking for voter fraud

still that number that they are investigating is .070 percent of total voters in Texas

Who knows maybe they will have better luck than Trump

Illegal Voting Gets Texas Woman 8 Years in Prison, and Certain Deportation
Texas Woman Sentenced To 5 Years For Illegal Voting
Another Noncitizen Indicted for Voter Fraud in 2016, Says Texas AG
This notice came out from the state on Jan. 25. If they can find the individuals, I imagine they will be having a lot charged with voter fraud.
Through this evaluation, the Texas Secretary of State's office discovered that a total of approximately 95,000 individuals identified by DPS as non-U.S. citizens have a matching voter registration record in Texas, approximately 58,000 of whom have voted in one or more Texas elections. Voting in an election in which the person knows he or she is not eligible to vote is a second-degree felony in the State of Texas. Upon receipt of this information, the Texas Secretary of State's office immediately provided the data in its possession to the Texas Attorney General's office, as the Secretary of State has no statutory enforcement authority to investigate or prosecute alleged illegal activity in connection with an election.

I not saying that it doesn't happen by both republicans and democrats. I am just saying that the examples you may find will not matter statistically or really change outcomes of votes on a national and state level.

This is a problem at the local level when the number of voters is low but once you are talking about a million voter then you will need more that a couple of examples of prosecution for it to matter

If the state finds people, it will be both demos and repubs doing it

Right now the story of 95,000 is just a false positive

like in most test such as pregnancy

Thats why they are sending out notices to verify if they are citizens because they do not know if the results are accurate

At this point it just suspicion

It is even unknown and in fact voting illegal is still only half of 1 percent. There are 15.8 registered voters in Texas

Still this has no effect on national elections and has very little effect on State wide elections

The last democratic governor was Ann Richards in the mid 90's and Clinton was the last president that received more votes in Texas.

this is more a problem for local election at the lowest level

and it may annoy repubs who need things to rile up their base

You can put police on any freeway and they will hand out a few tickets

It still will not stop people from speeding

If Russians interfere with national elections and a repub wins then all of the sudden its fake news

Yet Trump meets with Putin a second time and Putin before the cameras said
"I wanted Trump to win"

where is the outrage

Is Russian interference more of a problem that illegal voting

if Clinton had won because of the Russians then repubs would have impeached her in the 1st year when they controlled the congress

Of the 95,000 non-citizens registered, 58,000 have voted in one or more elections since 1996.​

The methodology of this study is deeply flawed. The study compiled the names and addresses of people who applied for driver's licenses using a green card or visa for ID. It then checked voter rolls to see if any of these people subsequently appeared on voter rolls or voted. What they didn't do was to enquire as to whether any of these people subequently applied for and received their citizenship prior to registering or voting.

This whole study was designed to give a "false positive" to gin up the base.

Well, except for the fact that it takes about 7 years from the time you get your green card until you are eligible for citizenship.
