Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) announced Monday that since he signed Senate Bill 1 into law in 2021, the state has removed more than 1 million ineligible voters from its voter rolls.

SB 1 aimed to "uphold the integrity of elections in Texas" by establishing uniform voting hours across the state and banning drive-through voting and unsolicited applications for mail-in ballots.

Texas removed from its rolls people who are noncitizens, deceased, or those who had moved out of the state and were no longer residents, according to a press release from Abbott's office.

More than 6,500 of those removed from the voter rolls are noncitizens. Abbott's office claimed that 1,930 of those individuals — approximately 30% — had voted in previous elections.

"The Secretary of State's office is in the process of sending all 1,930 records to the Attorney General's Office for investigation and potential legal action," the press release read.


Over 6,000 of those removed from Texas' voter rolls had felony convictions, 457,000 were deceased, and 463,000 were on the suspense list.

The release noted that the removal process is still ongoing.

"Election integrity is essential to our democracy," Abbott declared.

"I have signed the strongest election laws in the nation to protect the right to vote and to crack down on illegal voting," Abbott stated. "These reforms have led to the removal of over one million ineligible people from our voter rolls in the last three years, including noncitizens, deceased voters, and people who moved to another state."

He continued, "The Secretary of State and county voter registrars have an ongoing legal requirement to review the voter rolls, remove ineligible voters, and refer any potential illegal voting to the Attorney General's Office and local authorities for investigation and prosecution. Illegal voting in Texas will never be tolerated. We will continue to actively safeguard Texans' sacred right to vote while also aggressively protecting our elections from illegal voting."

It is just amazing how many ways there is to cheat in elections with no one seemingly giving a damn.

All 50 states should be doing this, but as we know demrat run states will do little or nothing.

I am not going to divulge that information. Proof of citizenship is not really proof at all in many states. It involves checking box that says you are a citizen.

Is this what you think is preventing non-citizens from registering? LOL.

Notice: It is a 3rd degree felony to submit false information. Maximum penalties are $5,000 and/or 5 years in prison.​

Lolol you're afraid to say what state you live in?

Non-seq, toots.
Try harder.

Haha, I don't think you know what non sequitur means.

That's an example of him being at odds with the law.

And an example of him trying to reduce turnout to appeal to the rubes.

Right on target.

All 50 states periodically purge their voter rolls

People get wrongly removed from the voter rolls, etc

People get wrongly removed from the voter rolls, etc

All of us being human that could happen also, which is why the rolls should be checked annually.

Voter Purges

Voter purges are an often-flawed process of cleaning up voter rolls by deleting names from registration lists. The Brennan Center works to ensure that they are nondiscriminatory and do not disenfranchise eligible voters.

What do you expect from a Chicom shill masquerading as a Canuck?

it's obvious you can't read.

They claimed 30% of the people purged were not citizens, that's a lie!

She only knows what she is told to know.

You mean, purged, worry about disenfranchised voters later. If they complain.

Let's be honest.

Thank goodness democracy is being saved by Repubs in TX looking for voter fraud.

Texas appeals court overturns voter fraud conviction for woman on probation​

A Texas appeals court has overturned a Fort Worth woman’s voter fraud conviction and five-year prison term for casting an illegal provisional ballot. (which was never counted)

Crystal Mason did not know that being on probation for a previous felony conviction left her ineligible to vote in 2016, the Second District Court of Appeals in Fort Worth ruled on Thursday.

Appearing near tears at times, Mason said during a Friday news conference that it has been a long seven years since the voting charge. “I’ve been out for six years on an appeal bond, one foot in one foot out, not knowing if I was going back to prison,” Mason said.
