A review of voter registration records in Texas has revealed that thousands of noncitizens were registered to vote in the state, according to Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson.
The investigation, which involved a comprehensive cross-check of the state’s 18 million registered voters against federal citizenship records in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ SAVE database, identified 2,724 potential noncitizens. These cases have been sent to local counties for further review.

We appreciate the federal partnership in helping verify citizenship and maintain accurate voter lists.”
