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


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.
Only 7,000 non-citizens who registered illegally were purged. That's not 30%.

 
Illegals didn't vote and don't vote.

That makes this move by politicians a very big deal for democracy in America!

Whether it's a million or a few thousand, is not important. It's only important that it's been done in America now!

That is, unless it's all bullshit fake news?
LOL

Nope.

No election will ever be 100% perfection is the enemy of any good. May as well insist all babies be born without defects. Could illegal voters swing an election? that is the all important question. Every election need be watched, checked, and looked, but we are more in danger of outside interference (Russia, China, others), than of people at home.
 
“Finds 30% of non-citizens cast votes”

Horse shit.

How many non-citizens are there in Texas?

And the thread claims 30% of them voted?

Horse shit


First of all of the million removed- half were dead and half just hadn’t voted in a few elections or moved.
 
So why were there over a million ineligible voters on the rolls, Mac? Hmm?

That's almost half the population of Houston.

Every single time someone somewhere does a purge, they ended up purging eligible voters.

I'm sure that will turn out to be the case this time as well.

It also depends how long it has been since the last time they updated voter rolls.

Voters move away. Voters die. And so forth.

It is idiotic to assume just because a voter who moved away is still on the voter rolls that something nefarious is going on.

Even worse, it is more than disingenuous to CLAIM something nefarious is going on. Principals who CLAIM something nefarious is going on are taking advantage of their weak-minded cult members they know will parrot that bullshit.

verified: ???


Questions: all at once? spread across how many elections -- 5 here, 12 there over a ten year period? What?

A retarded box of hair has better reading comprehension skills than you do, Simp.

So for all this they found less than 2,000 who voted illegally over the span of three years ?

How many voters are there in Texas?
 
Here is where it comes into focus, the twisting, the spin, the inferences with omissions. How many had been voting? You can bet your life on few to none. Cleaning up voters rolls is often done in some city elections. Voter rolls are separate from votes cast. The types who push the OP never tell people how many registered voters vs votes cast and look into how many cast were illegals, dead people etc.

Because every time that has been looked into in the past -- yep -- few to none.

Much ado about nothing:


While the total number of voters removed cited by Mr. Abbott appeared large, it did not represent a significant change in what ordinarily occurs as part of the maintenance of voting rolls in Texas. In fact, a New York Times analysis of voter registration cancellation data in Texas since 2018 suggests that it was routine.

Nearly 500,000 of the voters purged during the time period highlighted by Mr. Abbott were dead. About the same number were cleared after they were put on a list of people who did not vote in two successive general elections and are believed to have moved.

Those numbers were roughly equivalent to the number of voters in those categories removed in previous years.

 
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.
what's the actual issue?

Well this isn't going to sit well with lefty who is trying to make sure that illegal citizens vote in all the blue states.

Your biggest danger is you own illiteracy.

Exactly.

Half a million died during the three year period, and another half a million failed to vote in two successive general elections and were assumed to have moved away.

Basic maintenance.
