280,000 non-citizens in Texas are registered to vote

[Ole Cowboy]

• More than 280,000 non-citizens in Texas are registered to vote, with another 4 million voters whose status cannot be determined. Ross Kecseg reports that grassroots activists are calling on Gov. Greg Abbott to “verify citizenship of all voter registrations.”
  
  
  
• State Sen. Don Huffines (R–Dallas) has already committed to file legislation forcing the Texas Secretary of State to verify citizenship of all registered voters.

Good. Maybe we won't look so purple next election.

I mean a drivers license isn't enough in my opinion... Sorry, but it's WAY too easy to get one. Why don't we have voter ID cards like most countries?

I am sure somehow that is violating the rights of people who are not citizens of this country.

That and he puts and undue burden on the poor (who should not be voting anyhow).

Motor Voter is a big scam. Every single one of them committed another crime by saying they are a citizen and eligible to vote, then another if they voted in a federal election.

 

[TheMailMan]

The Liberal Left will tell you that requiring ID or proof of Citizenship to vote is a burden on the poor, elderly, and minorities.

Then they will tell you that it just makes sense to require people to have to show ID to buy a firearm.

One is an specific right and the other isn't. Guess which one the Liberals want to get rid of?

 

[Texasjack]

Wonder how many of those 280,000 are registered as Republicans or Libertarians?

They probably registered as Democrats because then you can keep voting even after you die.

 

[RoadRunner]

How much more of this kind of bullshit are we supposed to take before we DEMAND that changes be made?

I don't know why we are not protesting in the streets about this and all the other BS. And I really don't want to hear that we have jobs and families that keep us from doing it, because that is nothing more than excuse to do nothing.

I wish that someone with some organizational skills would take an interest this.

When I worked construction, we always marked the PortaPotties as Democratic voting booths.

That right there is the reason we're loosing ground, no one on the right wants to protest against anything. Maybe it's due to the fact, that most folk on the right have full time jobs, a family to support and cant afford to miss a day or so of work, I know I can't. Maybe some of these big pro 2A organizations could fund a protest like the left does, rent a bus and ship em off to Austin or DC. But I don't see that happening, the right seems to like to do a lot of talking and not taking actions.

To All,

As my friends here know, I'm a Presiding Election Judge in Bexar County.

Governor Abbott, imVho, NEEDS to have every voting precinct's voter roll checked CAREFULLY for those who have moved, died or simply aren't eligible to vote.
(Personally, I believe that every Election Officer on my team of EO would volunteer to help CLEAN-UP the county's rolls.)

Have you called or emailed the governor about it?

You mean for illegals, it's much harder if you're a citizen.

roadrunner,

Actually, I've done BOTH & also sent a snail-mail letter, signed by the whole team, too.

Everyone here should do the same, imo.

To All,

I suspect that Bexar County's voter rolls are in just as bad shape as the county that I lived in VA before coming home to TX in 2012.

I was an Election Inspector in that county in VA & the County Council voted The Election Board enough money to do the entire county at once, using sworn Election Officers. = 81% of EO, county-wide, volunteered for the project.
(The Election Judges were paid 14.oo per hour & the EOs were paid 12.oo per hour, i.e., the same as at elections. = CHEAP at 2X the price paid.)

It took 8 working days (of 10 hours per EO = 7AM-7PM) of careful looking to find/fix the numerous problems, county-wide.
(As an EI, I helped out in 5 precincts & also at the Central Box that handles the mail-in ballots.)

The results in "a typical precinct" were as follows: 18 voters deceased, 22 moved out of precinct/county & 4 "ineligible to vote" for a variety of other reasons. = In other words the typical precinct had an "error rate" of 16%.
