Texas removes 1 million ineligible voters from voter rolls — finds 30% of noncitizens previously cast ballots

And the other 3/4 million? :rolleyes-41:

Duke, its been 3 years since the law passed, not 1 year, use your head.

If Abbot was straight up he wouldn't be trying to inflate numbers with routine voter roll maintanance, but instead would talk about specific numbers that were direct result of this law.
 
I thought the one-million figure was alarming until I saw that it dated back to 2021. I don't know how easy it is to check election registration status there in Texas but it's simple here with access to either a computer or smartphone. If they're not performing mass purging of folks within 4 months of an election, then it allows ample time for people to confirm their status and make any necessary correction.
 

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.
vote harvesting is a leading one. Anyone, and I mean anyone with a functioning brain, can look at vote harvesting as vote harvesting. Violating every aspect of one ballot one vote. When any one person has more than one ballot in their hand is a violation of election law.

So all those vets who voted absentee for all those years were in violation because various US Postal workers “handled” their ballots?

how so? explain how they had more than one ballot?
 
Why? It's illegal for anyone to do it, Simp.
And it’s nuts for Republicans to claim rampant voter fraud as a means of disenfranchising voters when THEY are the ones guilty of doing it

Who has been disenfranchised? And both parties have people who do it, Simp.
 
Read the thread title jackass
Not my thread, moron.

And the thread title doesn't claim 1 million voted illegally. It states how many ineligible voters were removed from voter rolls. Grow a brain and use it for reading comprehension.

Will Abbot go to jail if he has taken away legitimate voters right to vote?

Just wondering... What are the consequences of him taking away a US Citizen's rights..

Otherwise, why doesn't Abbot take away everyone right to vote except a few in his close family.

We might be careful taking away right so easilly... Next Democrats could be taking away your rights to guns in such a blantent manner too, reap what you sow.

Who had their right to vote taken away, Simp?

Give us some names.
