And 58,000 have voted at least once since 1996. Nope no need for voter id laws....no border wall,no voter id...anyone grasping the point of all this yet? They can't get you to vote for them so they will just replace us.
Sounds to me like the republicans in Texas are Big Time worried.

My question is, who registered non-citizens, even if this article is true (which I doubt)? They didn't register themselves.

So, you just got on c-d and you’re already parroting Trumps’s made up stories?

What I’m grasping is an intent to disseminate misinformation and trolling.

Furthermore the State of Florida was blocked by DHS and the DOJ from utilizing the SAVE database which contains the most up to date and accurate information on legal immigrants. They eventually reached a compromised for limited use. e.g. they would need specific circumstance for checking it. Why would the Obama administration try and prevent Florida from getting accurate information?

This type of investigation has occurred in multiple states. I've yet to see one hold up yet. The record continues in Texas. Here is a report by Fox news.



https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tex...lly-overstated


But on Tuesday, reports surfaced that local election officials were told by state elections administrators that some of the names were included "in error," in part because many individuals whose names appeared on the list may have become naturalized citizens and therefore cast legal ballots.
...
But Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole said Tuesday that state officials told her they'd discovered that some voters on the list previously provided proof of citizenship.
Near Austin, Williamson County Election Administrator Chris Davis says the state also called him. He says there is a "significant" number of voters whose citizenship is no longer in question.
...
Even Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Trump ally who said last week his office was ready to prosecute cases, told supporters in a fundraising email that "many of these individuals may have been naturalized before registering and voting, which makes their conduct perfectly legal."
...
Lisa Wise, the election administer in El Paso County along the U.S.-Mexico border, said she received a list of 4,100 potential noncitizens. She said her office would investigate, but that after a first scan she could tell all of the names wouldn't hold up.
Wise said that at naturalization ceremonies for new U.S. citizens, her office registers between 150 and 200 to people alone.
"Anything is possible," she said. "But I can tell just from our list, and I don't know what anyone else's looks like, but I can tell that universe is going to continue to shrink."

Step 1: After a period of time, cancel public benefits for any illegal who votes and cannot prove their citizenship. That will stop the vote harvesters from filling out peoples' ballots because they will effectively be destroying their constituency.

Illegals don't get public benefits.

It’s the only way to stop the Voter Fraud ... Prison Time.

Prison for those who vote fraudulently and prison for those who knowingly facilitate it.
That report has not really been validated for accuracy
Some of the names come from elections 30 yrs ago
The TX AG is just looking to make a name for himself with the alt right Trumpistas...

He is not much of an attorney since I wouldn't trust his morals or his legal knowledge

The GOP in TX has a shameful history of voter suppression and gerrymandering
Voters in TX who vote for them should be disenfranchised because the GOP does not really believe in the democratic process of allowing eligible citizens to actually vote--and each vote is equally weighted...

I know
I have been a registered voter in TX since I was 21 and that was the legal voting age...

Thats a decent reference for it all I think, it has both the initial report, and a update from the editor covering the reality. I can find the Trump Jr post if thats what you wanted. Let me know.
