Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson announced her office has found more than 2,000 potential noncitizens who may have voted illegally in recent state elections.
The discovery came after the state compared its voter registration list with the US Citizenship and Immigration Services’ SAVE database. The list of possible noncitizens has been sent to county officials for further investigation into voter eligibility.
Nelson said those found to have voted illegally will be referred to the Texas Attorney General’s Office for prosecution. “Only eligible United States citizens may participate in our elections,” she stated, noting that free access to the federal database — granted under the Trump administration — has been “a game changer” in keeping voter rolls accurate.
“Everyone’s right to vote is sacred and must be protected,” Nelson added. “The SAVE database has proven to be a critically important tool… to ensure that only qualified voters cast a ballot in our elections.”
The state identified 2,724 potential noncitizens out of roughly 18 million registered voters. Each will receive a letter notifying them of the finding and will have 30 days to provide proof of citizenship to remain registered. If they fail to respond, their registration will be canceled but can later be reinstated with documentation.
