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.

The Republican Party has controlled the government of Texas since 1994. That's 30 years of absolutely Republican control.

If there were over a million ineligible people on the voter rolls in Texas, Republicans are the ones who have controlled those voter rolls for 30 years.

IT'S REALLY FUCKING DISINGENUOUS FOR REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE VOTER ROLLS THEY'VE CONTROLLED FOR 30 YEARS.

HOW COULD THEY HAVE LET IT GET SO BAD??????

San Antonio and Austin, are controlled by demofks. so again, it boils down to counties. Like here in Chicago when repubs used to run the state.
 
Just to name two: Beverly Roberts and her 91-year-old mother, Jetta Roberts, El Paso County voters
You said "they" estimate 200,000. You just threw out two names with no link supporting anything.

Try again.

And you were mad when they changed their laws in 2021 to allow them to remove these illegal/ineligible registrations.

Pick an outrage and stick with it.

Great, remove Trump’s electoral votes for 2020...

Biden: 232
Trump: 168
 
Do you know what bedridden means idiot?
what does that have to do with using the post office? Are suggesting they are invalids and can't actually fill out a ballot? Some someone fills it out for them? that's illegal.

good to catch them, but note 6500 is very few of the 1 million inelligible....And 1930 voting is even fewer....especially considering all of the illegals Texas must hold....And all the votes cast in Texas...

Still 1 illegal voter, is 1 too many.

I wonder how many registered as Republicans vs. Democrats?
 
Progs cheat. And people vote against their interest in survival. Trump is not some person who is going to purify the nation. Yet he is promoted as everything under the sun from Progs. We have seen what Kamala is. Denying it is helping the nation to die.

Texas is a red state, why are you blaming "progs?"
