Report: Texas Finds Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Registered on State Voter Rolls
by Alana Mastrangelo 21 Oct 2025
Texas has reportedly found thousands of illegal immigrants registered to vote on the state’s voter rolls, with Secretary of State Jane Nelson saying 2,724 possible noncitizens have been flagged through a federal database cross-check.
Nelson said on Monday that an election evaluation in Texas has sparked an eligibility review across the 254 counties after more than 2,700 potential illegal immigrants were found on the state’s voter rolls, according to a report by Fox News.
“Only eligible United States citizens may participate in our elections,” Nelson said, adding that the Trump Administration has given states “free and direct access” to a dataset “for the first time,” which she called “a game changer” in Texas’ election review.
Nelson was referring to federal citizenship records in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ database called the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE), which her office said allowed Texas to conduct a full comparison of the state’s 18 million registered voters, providing them with more thorough data.
