Texas Secretary of State announces widespread voter fraud in recent elections
Tim Griffin

Texas Secretary of State David Whitley announced Friday that 95,000 non-citizens who are currently registered to vote in the state of Texas, including 58,000 of whom have voted in one or more elections.

“Integrity and efficiency of elections in Texas require accuracy of our state’s voter rolls, and my office is committed to using all available tools under the law to maintain an accurate list of registered voters,” Whitley said.

The Secretary of State cannot remove those voters from the rolls themselves. That is up to county elections officials. Whitley has recommended counties take action by sending notices to the non-U.S. voters that would give them a chance to prove they are legal U.S. citizens and eligible to vote.

Texas Secretary of State Says 58,000 Non-Citizens Voted in Elections
 

BY: Mary Lou Lang   
January 25, 2019 6:36 pm

The Texas secretary of state issued on Friday afternoon the results of a year-long evaluation that showed 95,000 non-U.S. citizens are registered to vote in the state and approximately 58,000 of them voted in one or more elections.

Texas Secretary of State David Whitley indicated the individuals were found over the past year by his office and the Texas Department of Public Safety in an evaluation of the voter registration rolls.

Whitley issued an advisory to county voter registrars on Friday about voter registration list maintenance activities including identifying non-U.S. citizens who are registered to vote in the state.

Inferred in the story:  "There are 58,000 illegal aliens that got away with voting illegally, scot-free."
Those are only the ones the found so far. 58,000 is nothing. It is the tip of the iceberg.

In California, NY, Chicago, et al, that number would be hundreds of thousands or more. But it doesn't matter anyway. Nothing will happen. Nothing will change. Neither the Democrats nor Republicans have any interest in stopping voter fraud. Hell man, the Democrats want everyone in the world to vote in our elections. They consider so called 'citizenship' to be a racist construct. And therefore it is meaningless to them.

And the beat goes on.

Texas moves to purge 95,000 voters suspected to be non-US citizens

Texas officials have launched a purge of 95,000 people from the voter rolls, saying they do not appear to be U.S. citizens — just the beginning of a wider, more frequent purging that will happen monthly from now on.

Texas Secretary of State David Whitley said working with the Department of Public Safety, his office has been able to identify the potential non-citizens among those registered to vote, including 58,000 who have cast ballots before in Texas elections.

“Integrity and efficiency of elections in Texas require accuracy of our state's voter rolls, and my office is committed to using all available tools under the law to maintain an accurate list of registered voters,” Whitley said.

Voter advocacy groups pointed out Friday that none of the state’s suspicions have been confirmed yet, and objected to the method used to identify the suspected non-citizen voters. They noted that 50,000 Texans become naturalized citizens each year.

The Secretary of State cannot remove the voters from the rolls. That is up to county elections officials. But Whitley has recommended counties take action by sending notices that would give the people who have been flagged 30 days to prove they are eligible to vote by presenting a birth certificate, passport, or certificate of naturalization. If they fail to respond, their registrations will be canceled by the county voter registrar.

The Secretary of State’s Office said Friday it was not prepared to release a list of how many voters per county are affected, but verified that Harris County has the most.

Already, the list of 58,000 people suspected to have voted despite being non-citizens is being forwarded to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for potential legal action. It is a felony to vote in Texas when you know you are not eligible.

True. But they fixed that in the last election. The 'Blue Wave' was a concerted plan by the Dems to deluge the election with voter fraud to the point that nobody could ever keep up with it or sort it out. They were recruiting in areas known for having illegals encouraging them to vote. And it worked.

Then you have the additional problem of who is doing the checking. If the people 'verifying' votes are illegals themselves or Democrats then they will never ever find any fraudulent vote at all ever. Not only does the FEC have to vet who is voting, but they should also vet who is verifying the votes. And they never do.

Also, even if you get busted voting illegally, so what? Nothing is going to happen anyway except in a rare handful of cases. This is why Trump will almost certainly lose in 2020. The American election system is so porous and corrupt, the Democrats will exploit that and have every illegal and dead person and Mickey Mouse alias in the country voting 2 or 3 or a dozen times. Who cares. The system is out of control and nobody is watching the watchers.

The American election system is one of the worst in the world. The Dems won't make the mistake of letting Trump win again on a level playing field. No matter what they have to do to any extreme. Who's going to stop them? Nobody.

Trump returns to 'rampant' voter fraud theme following Texas investigation

By Brett Samuels  - 01/27/19 09:04 AM EST
 

President Trump early Sunday pushed questionable claims about Texas officials reviewing voter rolls to warn of "rampant" voter fraud and advocate for "Strong voter ID."

The president alleged that 58,000 noncitizens voted in Texas, and that 95,000 noncitizens registered to vote. His tweet was apparently spurred by a "Fox & Friends" segment on the figures at about 8 a.m.

Texas Moves to Purge 95,000 Voters Suspected of Not Being U.S. Citizens

Texas officials have launched a purge of 95,000 people from the voter rolls, saying they do not appear to be U.S. citizens -- just the beginning of a wider, more frequent purging that will happen monthly from now on.

Texas Secretary of State David Whitley said working with the Department of Public Safety, his office has been able to identify the potential non-citizens among those registered to vote, including 58,000 who have cast ballots before in Texas elections.

The Secretary of State cannot remove the voters from the rolls. That is up to county elections officials.

Already, the list of 58,000 people suspected to have voted despite being non-citizens is being forwarded to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for potential legal action. It is a felony to vote in Texas when you know you are not eligible.

"Nothing is more vital to preserving our Constitution than the integrity of our voting process, and my office will do everything within its abilities to solidify trust in every election in the state of Texas," Paxton, a Republican, said in a statement to the media.

The news is almost certain to buoy conservatives from President Donald Trump to Gov. Greg Abbott who have alleged illegal voting and voter fraud are rampant.

Abbott, who made voter fraud a priority item for the Texas Legislature in 2017, said Friday that "illegal voting in Texas will not be tolerated, and as governor, I will continue root it out and punish it.

The Secretary of State's office relied on documents that the voters themselves submitted to DPS when they were trying to obtain drivers licenses. Non-citizens, such as temporary residents, asylum seekers and refugees, are eligible to get a Texas drivers license, but they are not allowed to register to vote unless they become U.S. citizens.

"It is important to note that we are not using information self-reported by the person regarding citizenship status; rather, we are using documents provided by the person to show they are lawfully present in the United States," wrote the state's director of elections, Keith Ingram, in a notice to registrars in all 254 Texas counties.

Harris County pushes back against state’s call for voter purge

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/texas/article/Harris-County-pushes-back-against-state-s-call-13567454.php (https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/texas/article/Harris-County-pushes-back-against-state-s-call-13567454.php)

The largest county in Texas is pushing back against the state’s effort to purge from the voter rolls nearly 100,000 people that state officials suspect are not U.S. citizens.

Harris County election officials say they will not automatically send notices to voters identified by the Secretary of State’s Office as potentially being non-citizens. Instead, they will first do their own research on the affected voters before sending anything out.

“We are going to proceed very carefully,” said Douglas Ray, a special assistant county attorney in Harris who specializes in election issues. “We’re going to make sure we don’t improperly disenfranchise anyone.”

In addition, a coalition of voting rights advocacy groups including the ACLU Foundation of Texas are putting new pressure on the state to reverse course.

The reaction comes three days after the Texas Secretary of State David Whitley announced the discovery of about 95,000 people who are on the voter registration rolls who may not be U.S. citizens — including 58,000 who have voted at least once in past elections as far back as 1996. Whitley said the state used Department of Public Safety records to identify drivers who submitted documents that proved they were not legal U.S. citizens at that time, but were eligible to drive. Then the state compared those names and Social Security numbers with the state voter rolls. It’s those matches that the state is now sending to county voting officials statewide to start the process of purging any non-citizens.

The effort was met gleefully by President Donald Trump over the weekend who saw it as confirmation of the voter fraud he’s long insisted is a national problem.

I thought the 'A' in ACLU stood for "American". In the case of illegals, the "A" doesn't apply (unless they meant to include "Central" and "South" in that). Which leaves us with CLU, and invites speculation what those letters stand for.

When was the last time the ACLU stood against a gun control measure, yet another infringement of the RKBA?

State officials on Tuesday told voter registrars in several Texas counties that some of the nearly 100,000 names on a list of potentially ineligible voters should not have been included because they are U.S. citizens.

Cheryl Johnson, Galveston county's tax assessor-collector, said her county started sending letters Monday asking people on the list to verify their citizenship. But on Tuesday, Johnson said, the Texas secretary of state's office notified her that some on on the list had been verified as citizens.

"We managed to retrieve the second batch of letters that we were going to mail today," said Johnson.  "The ones we sent yesterday, we're going to go back and check those."

Johnson said 837 Galveston County voters were flagged by the state, and her office sent letters to  a little over 85 of them on Monday with plans to mail more on subsequent days. The letters ask that the recipients provide a U.S. passport, birth certificate or citizenship papers to her office within 30 days, she said. Those who fail to do so could be dropped from voter rolls.

Based on the source code that was given to her by the secretary of state's office, she said her office was able to pull 37 letters they planned to mail out on Tuesday. They were still planning to send out 50 letters to registered voters in the area.

County officials removing thousands of names from state’s list of potentially ineligible voters

In Harris County alone, officials said, more than 60 percent of nearly 30,000 names on a list the state supplied last week are being removed after new guidance from state officials. Voter registrars in several other counties reported getting similar calls Tuesday from the Texas Secretary of State’s office, which last week said its review showed that 95,000 registered voters did not appear to be U.S. citizens.

Meanwhile on Tuesday, the League of United Latin American Citizens sued Secretary of State David Whitley and Attorney General Ken Paxton, asking for data used to develop the original list. The disclosure that many of those on the state’s list had been found to be U.S. citizens intensified the concerns that prompted the suit.

The lawsuit accuses Whitley and Paxton of violating federal election laws. It says the initiative, announced last week by Paxton and Whitley’s office, is a method of voter suppression seen around the country and a “witch hunt” meant to instill fear primarily in Hispanic voters.
